3-\left(x+1\right)=x+2
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{1}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x+1.
3-x-1=x+2
To find the opposite of x+1, find the opposite of each term.
2-x=x+2
Subtract 1 from 3 to get 2.
2-x-x=2
Subtract x from both sides.
2-2x=2
Combine -x and -x to get -2x.
-2x=2-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
-2x=0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -2 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
