Answer: 1) X=9 2) X=-2.5

Explanation:

1) (3*x+3*-1)=(2*x+2*3) -- Distributive property

3x-3=2x+6 -- Solve parentheses

3x=2x+9 -- Add 3 to each side

1x=9 -- Subtract 2x from each side

1x/1=9/1 -- Divide to get X alone

X=9

2) X-2=3x+3 -- Remove Parentheses

X=3x+5 -- Add 2 to each side

-2x=5 -- Subtract 3x from each side

-2x/-2x=5/-2x -- Divide to get X alone

X=-2.5

Hope this helped!
