What is 3-(x+2)=2x-2

Sorry Dragon,

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

-(x+2)=-1*x+-1*2=-1x-2=-x-2

so

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

so the  problem becomes

1-x=2x-2

add x to both sides

then add 2 to both sides

the think what to do next.  :)

Ok. To solve the question, we start from x=1.

$$3-(x+2)=2x-2\Rightarrow3-(1+2)=2*1-2$$

Now, do the parentheses in one side, and multiply in the other.

$$\\\\3-(1+2)=2*1-2\\\\=3-(3)=2-2$$

Now, do subtraction from both sides.

$$\\\\3-(3)=2-2\\\\=0=0$$

We now know that the equation is true, so the answer is $$x=\fbox{\begin{minipage}{0.9cm}\11\vspace{0.1cm}\end{minipage}}$$
