Hey there! This is a pretty long equation, but don't let it confuse you- it's full of like terms. Let's clean up the right side by adding the 4x and the 2x:
First, you should add your like-terms on the left side. 6x+2=3x-7 Then subtract 3x from 6x to get rid of the x on the right side. 3x+2=-7 After that, subtract two from -7. 3x=-9 Divide -9 by 3. x=-3.
