What is the solution to the equation `-3\left(x+4\right)\ =\ -2\left(x+3\right)`?

1 answer

Let's simplify the equation:

-3(x+4) = -2(x+3)
-3x - 12 = -2x - 6
Now, let's add 3x to both sides of the equation:

-3x + 3x - 12 = -2x + 3x - 6
-12 = x - 6
Next, let's add 6 to both sides of the equation:

-12 + 6 = x - 6 + 6
-6 = x

Therefore, the solution to the equation -3(x+4) = -2(x+3) is x = -6.
