3\left(-x\right)=2\left(-x\right)-2\times 2x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
3\left(-x\right)=2\left(-x\right)-4x
Multiply -2 and 2 to get -4.
3\left(-x\right)-2\left(-x\right)=-4x
Subtract 2\left(-x\right) from both sides.
-x=-4x
Combine 3\left(-x\right) and -2\left(-x\right) to get -x.
-x+4x=0
Add 4x to both sides.
3x=0
Combine -x and 4x to get 3x.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 3 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
