Question

3(x+2)=−5−2(x−3)

x = ___
(type your answer as a number, "no solution" or "infinite solutions")

Answer 1

x = -1

Explanation:

3(x+2)=−5−2(x−3) multiply 3 and -2 with inside the parenthesis

3x + 6 = -5 -2x + 6 now add the like terms

3x + 2x = 1 - 6

5x = -5 simplify both sides

x = -1
