Answer:

Multiply the first bracket by 3

Multiply the second bracket by -2

3x+3=-2x+2-4

3x+2x+3=-2x-2   negative (-) number and positive number (+)= negative number

Just rearranging

5x+3=-2

5x+3-3=-2-3

5x=-5

Dividing by 5

5x/5=-5/5

x=-1

Check answer by using substitution method

3(-1+1)=-2(-1-1)-4

0=-2(-2)-4 negative number and negative number = positive number

0=4-4

0=0
