2(x-3)-17 = 13-3(x+2)
First distribute to get
2x-6-17= 13-3x-6
2x-23=7-3x
+3x on each side and add 23 on each side
to get 5x= 30 divide by 5 on each side to get ur final answer of x=6
what steps would you take to answer

Get rid of the parentheses.
2x-6-17 = 13-3x-6
Add 3x and 23 to both sides.
5x = 30
