Answer:


x \in \mathbb \: R

Explanation:

The given equation is:


- (2x + 2) - 1 = - x - (x + 3)

We expand to get:


- 2x - 2 - 1 = - x - x - 3

We group like terms to get:


- 2x + x + x = - 3 + 1 + 2

We combine the like terms to obtain:


- 2x + 2x = - 3 + 3


0 = 0

This is always true therefore the solution is infinite.
