2\times 2x+2\left(x+3\right)=7
Variable x cannot be equal to -3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2\left(x+3\right), the least common multiple of x+3,2x+6.
4x+2\left(x+3\right)=7
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
4x+2x+6=7
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+3.
6x+6=7
Combine 4x and 2x to get 6x.
6x=7-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
6x=1
Subtract 6 from 7 to get 1.
x=\frac{1}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
