Answer:

x=-37

Explanation:

First, rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation:

2*x-31-(3*(x+2))=0

(2x - 31) - 3 • (x + 2) = 0

Pulling out like terms

3.1 Pull out like factors :

-x - 37 = -1 • (x + 37)

Equation at the end of step

-x - 37 = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

4.1 Solve : -x-37 = 0

Add 37 to both sides of the equation :

-x = 37

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : x = -37
