Answer:

no, x = -2

Explanation:

for 3x + 2 = x - 2

does x = 0?

3x + 2 = x - 2

2x +2 = -2

2x = -4

x = -4 : 2

x = -2

--------------------------

check

3 * (-2) + 2 = -2 - 2

-4= -4

the answer is good

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Solve for x.

You want to isolate all the variables (x) to one side.

3x+2=x-2

-3x -3x

2=-2x-2

+2 +2

4=-2x

x=-2

-2
