2-3x=x+2 solve for x
2 - 3x = x + 2
We want all the x terms on the left side, so subtract x
2 - 3x - x = x + 2 - x
2 - 4x = 2
Now, eliminate the 2 on the left side of the equation
2 - 4x - 2 = 2 - 2
-4x = 0
Divide both sides of the equation by -4
-4x / -4 = 0 / -4
x = 0 (zero divided by any number is zero)
