I agree with Ms. Sue but I can provide a more detailed info cause shes probably busy
Okay so:
2x+2=-3x+6
You should start by trying to combine the x!
So to move an x to the other side you have to add or subtract it according to its sign!
If its positive you subtract, if its negative you add!
You can do move either x you want to either side but its easier to work with a positive number so I will move -3x.
In order to move -3x, you must +3x to the other side to even it out making it:
5x + 2 = 6
Now, you move the number without an x and that is 2, since it is positive you subtract it so:
5x= 6
-2
5x=4
TO solve for x you divide so
x=4
