3x-2x+2=14-5x
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x-1.
x+2=14-5x
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
x+2+5x=14
Add 5x to both sides.
6x+2=14
Combine x and 5x to get 6x.
6x=14-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
6x=12
Subtract 2 from 14 to get 12.
x=\frac{12}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=2
Divide 12 by 6 to get 2.
