Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute:

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

distribute:

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

calculate difference:

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

move variable to left and change sign

3x + 2x + 3 = -2

3x + 2x = 2 - 3

collect like terms

5x = -2 - 3

5x = -5

x = -1

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

distibute

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

simplify

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

inverse operations

3x + 3 = -2x - 2

+2x        +2x

5x + 3 = -2

    -3      -3

5x = -5

/5     /5

x = -1
