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

$$x \cdot ( - x - 2 + x ) - 3 = x$$

Solve for x

$$x=-1$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$x\left(-x\right)-2x+x^{2}-3=x$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$x\left(-x\right)-2x+x^{2}-3-x=0$$

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

$$x\left(-x\right)-3x+x^{2}-3=0$$

Add 3 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$x\left(-x\right)-3x+x^{2}=3$$

Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.

$$x^{2}\left(-1\right)-3x+x^{2}=3$$

Combine x^{2}\left(-1\right) and x^{2} to get 0.

$$-3x=3$$

Divide both sides by -3.

$$x=\frac{3}{-3}$$

Divide 3 by -3 to get -1.

$$x=-1$$
