Question 590849
{{{6x+2=3x-5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{6x=3x-5-2}}} Subtract {{{2}}} from both sides.



{{{6x-3x=-5-2}}} Subtract {{{3x}}} from both sides.



{{{3x=-5-2}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{3x=-7}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-7)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.
