Answer: x=−2
Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides.
−3x−3−2x=2x+7−2x
−5x−3=7
Step 2: Add 3 to both sides.
−5x−3+3=7+3
−5x=10
Step 3: Divide both sides by -5.
−5x/-5=10/-5
Answer:
[tex] - 3x - 3 = 2x + 7 \\ 2x + 3x = - 7 - 3 \\ 5x = - 10 \\ x = \frac{( - 10)}{5} \\ \boxed{x = - 2}[/tex]
