Answer:

x=-2

Explanation:

Do Distributive property with both sides: -3x+6-2x+3=5-4x+2

Combine like terms: -5x+9=7-4x

Subtract 9 from 7: 1x=-2

divide by 1x: -2

Answer:

x=2

Explanation:

-3*(x-2)-(2*x-3)-(5-(4*x-2))=0

((0 - 3 • (x - 2)) - (2x - 3)) - (7 - 4x) = 0

2 - x = 0

-x+2 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation :

-x = -2

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : x = 2
