B. The equation has one solution.

Step 1. Subtract 2 from both sides

3 + x - 2 = -3x

Step 2. Simplify 3 + x - 2 to x + 1

x + 1 = -3x

Step 3. Subtract x from both sides

1 = -3x - x

Step 4. Simplify -3x - x to -4x

1 = -4x

Step 5. Divide both sides by -4

-1/4 = x

Step 6. Switch sides

x = -1/4
