How to solve 2(1-x)+3(2+x)=3x

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $1-x$.

$$2-2x+3\left(2+x\right)=3x$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $3$ by $2+x$.

$$2-2x+6+3x=3x$$

Add $2$ and $6$ to get $8$.

$$8-2x+3x=3x$$

Combine $-2x$ and $3x$ to get $x$.

$$8+x=3x$$

Subtract $3x$ from both sides.

$$8+x-3x=0$$

Combine $x$ and $-3x$ to get $-2x$.

$$8-2x=0$$

Subtract $8$ from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-2x=-8$$

Divide both sides by $-2$.

$$x=\frac{-8}{-2}$$

Divide $-8$ by $-2$ to get $4$.

$$x=4$$
