Hi. This is a bit lengthy so I am attaching an image that shows it worked out step by step. I hope it helps.
Take care,

-3+3x=-2(x+1)
First: I will get rid of the bracket:
-3+3x=-2x-2
Now, all the x goes to the left side, all the numbers without x to the right side:
3x+2x=-2+3
we add up"
5x=1
divide by 5:
Answer:
Gradient of A: 2
Gradient of B: -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Gradient = change in y/change in x
✔️Gradient of A using two points on line A, (2, 5) and (0, 1):
Gradient = (1 - 5)/(0 - 2) = -4/-2
Simplify
Gradient of A = 2
✔️Gradient of B using two points on line B, (0, 5) and (5, 0):
Gradient = (0 - 5)/(5 - 0) = -5/5
Simplify
Gradient of B = -1
