Answer:

x = -13

Explanation:

To solve for x, we will have to get the equation in a form with x by itself on one side and a value on the right side.

3(x + 1) = 2(x - 5)

Distribute the 3 on the left side and the 5 on the right side.

3x + 3 = 2x - 10

Subtract 3 from both sides.

3x = 2x - 13

Subtract 2x from both sides.

x = -13

And now we have the answer of x = -13.

I hope you find my answer helpful.
