Solve -2(x+3)-3(x+2)=0

$$- 2 ( x + 3 ) - 3 ( x + 2 ) = 0$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{12}{5} = -2\frac{2}{5} = -2.4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+3.

$$-2x-6-3\left(x+2\right)=0$$

Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x+2.

$$-2x-6-3x-6=0$$

Combine -2x and -3x to get -5x.

$$-5x-6-6=0$$

Subtract 6 from -6 to get -12.

$$-5x-12=0$$

Add 12 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$-5x=12$$

Divide both sides by -5.

$$x=\frac{12}{-5}$$

Fraction \frac{12}{-5} can be rewritten as -\frac{12}{5} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{12}{5}$$
