Explanation:

To solve this equation, we must isolate the variable (x) using inverse operations.

x-2 is being multiplied by -3. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by -3.

2 is being subtracted from x. The inverse operation of subtraction is addition, so add 2 to both sides of the equation.
