Question 648328
{{{1(x-3)-2=6-2(x+1)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{x-3-2=6-2x-2}}} Distribute.



{{{x-5=6-2x-2}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x-5=-2x+4}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=-2x+4+5}}} Add {{{5}}} to both sides.



{{{x+2x=4+5}}} Add {{{2x}}} to both sides.



{{{3x=4+5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{3x=9}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(9)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=3}}} Reduce.
