x+2x+3z+2-z=-3
To find the opposite of -2x-3z-2, find the opposite of each term.
3x+3z+2-z=-3
Combine x and 2x to get 3x.
3x+2z+2=-3
Combine 3z and -z to get 2z.
3x+2=-3-2z
Subtract 2z from both sides.
3x=-3-2z-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
3x=-5-2z
Subtract 2 from -3 to get -5.
3x=-2z-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{-2z-5}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{-2z-5}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
