x - (2x - 3) = 2
x -2x +3 =2 (Remove parentheses remembering - times - = +)
-x +3 =2 (Combine the two x terms)
-x = 2 -3 (Subtract 3 from both sides of equation)
-x = -1 (Combine the two numbers)
x = 1 Multiply both sides of equation by -1)

First, propogate the minus through the parentheses:
x - 2x + 3 = 2
Then combine like terms:
-x = -1
x = 1

Distributive property:
x-2x+3=2
Combine Like Terms:
-x+3=2
Subtract 3 on both sides:
-x=-1
Divide -1 on both sides:
-1/-1x=-1/-1
Answer:
x=1
Check:
1-(2(1)-3)=2
1-(2-3)=2
1-(-1)=2
1+1=2
2=2
You always want to check your answer to make sure it's right.
I hope this helps!

Start by combining like terms: -x+3=2 next, subtract 3 from both sides to isolate x: -x=-1 next multiply both sides by negative 1 so that the sign of x will become positive: x=1.
