-2x-\left(-x\right)=0-2x-\left(-3-3x\right)
Anything plus zero gives itself.
-2x-\left(-x\right)=0-2x-\left(-3\right)-\left(-3x\right)
To find the opposite of -3-3x, find the opposite of each term.
-2x-\left(-x\right)=0-2x+3-\left(-3x\right)
The opposite of -3 is 3.
-2x-\left(-x\right)=0-2x+3+3x
The opposite of -3x is 3x.
-2x-\left(-x\right)=3-2x+3x
Add 0 and 3 to get 3.
-2x-\left(-x\right)=3+x
Combine -2x and 3x to get x.
-2x-\left(-x\right)-x=3
Subtract x from both sides.
-2x+x-x=3
Multiply -1 and -1 to get 1.
-x-x=3
Combine -2x and x to get -x.
-2x=3
Combine -x and -x to get -2x.
x=\frac{3}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=-\frac{3}{2}
Fraction \frac{3}{-2} can be rewritten as -\frac{3}{2} by extracting the negative sign.
