Answer:


-1

Explanation:

I am assuming you are trying to find x.

So what you have to do first is subtract 2x from both sides:

2x - 2x = -3x - 2x

=> 0 = ==> -5x

So you should have now

3 = -5x - 2

Now, add 2 to both sides:

3 + 2 = -2 + 2

=> 5 = => 0

Now you should have

5 = -5x

Divide -5 from both sides to get x alone and your answer:

5 / -5 = -5x / -5

=> -1 = => x

-1 = x
