Interpret the equation as
3x + 1 + 2 = −(1/2)(−6x − 8) − 2.
Simplify both sides:
Left: 3x + 1 + 2 = 3x + 3.
Right: −(1/2)(−6x − 8) − 2 = 3x + 4 − 2 = 3x + 2.
So we get 3x + 3 = 3x + 2. Subtract 3x from both sides: 3 = 2, which is false.
Therefore the equation is inconsistent and has no solution (solution set = ∅).
