Hi Lasagna!

So basically, this is extremely simple. In order to "solve" that equation, the x has to be on one side. The easiest way to do this would be to take the 2x to the other side. If you want the 2x to go to the other side, you need to subtract it (since it is already positive, therefore it needs to cancel out). Once you do that, you must always do the same thing to the other side: subtract 2x from 3x. That should get you one x there, which you can just write as x if it's just one. Then you're all set! :D
