3+2\left(x-2x-2\right)=2\left(x+3x-1\right)
To find the opposite of 2x+2, find the opposite of each term.
3+2\left(-x-2\right)=2\left(x+3x-1\right)
Combine x and -2x to get -x.
3-2x-4=2\left(x+3x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by -x-2.
-1-2x=2\left(x+3x-1\right)
Subtract 4 from 3 to get -1.
-1-2x=2\left(4x-1\right)
Combine x and 3x to get 4x.
-1-2x=8x-2
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 4x-1.
-1-2x-8x=-2
Subtract 8x from both sides.
-1-10x=-2
Combine -2x and -8x to get -10x.
-10x=-2+1
Add 1 to both sides.
-10x=-1
Add -2 and 1 to get -1.
x=\frac{-1}{-10}
Divide both sides by -10.
x=\frac{1}{10}
Fraction \frac{-1}{-10} can be simplified to \frac{1}{10} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
