0+1=-3\left(2x+2\right)
Anything times zero gives zero.
1=-3\left(2x+2\right)
Add 0 and 1 to get 1.
1=-6x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 2x+2.
-6x-6=1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-6x=1+6
Add 6 to both sides.
-6x=7
Add 1 and 6 to get 7.
x=\frac{7}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
x=-\frac{7}{6}
Fraction \frac{7}{-6} can be rewritten as -\frac{7}{6} by extracting the negative sign.
