Answer:

x = -7

Explanation:

First, lets open up the parentheses.

3x - 6x + 4 = 8 - 2x + 3

Combine like terms.

-3x + 4 = 11 - 2x

Add 2x to both sides

-x + 4 = 11

Subtract 4 from both sides

-x + 4 -4 = 11 -4

Simplify

-x = 7

Divide both sides by -1

x = -7

Hope this helps! (:

Answer:

x = -7

Explanation:

3x – 2(3x – 2) = 2(4 – x) + 3

The first step is to distribute when solving for x

3x – 6x +4 = 8 – 2x + 3

Then combine like terms

-3x+4=-2x+11

Add 3x to each side

-3x+3x+4=-2x+3x+11

4 = x+11

Subtract 11 from each side

4-11 = x+11-11

-7 = x
