Answer:
x = (3+2c)/(3)

Explanation:

We need to attempt to isolate the x in this problem. We can start by subtracting 2c:


(-3x + 2c) -2c = -3 - 2c\\-3x = -3-2c

We can then divide by negative 1 to remove the negative symbol:


(-3x)/(-1) = (-3-2x)/(-1)\\3x = 3 + 2c

Now we just need to divide the equation by 3:


(3x)/(3) = (3+2c)/(3)\\x = (3+2c)/(3)

And now we have isolated x. Our final answer is x = (3+2c) / 3

I hope this helped, if you need anything explained let me know.
