Hello!

First, let's write the problem.
$3\left(x-2\right)+2\left(x+1\right)=-14$
Apply the distributive property on the left side of the equation.
$=3x-6+2x+2$
Add like terms.
$=5x-4$
Let's plug that in into the original equation.
$5x-4=-14$
Add 4 to both sides.
$5x-4+4=-14+4$
$5x=-10$
Divide both sides by 5.
$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{-10}{5}$

Our final answer would be,
$x=-2$

You can feel free to let me know if you have any questions regarding this!
Thanks!
