3x+3=2x+2
Taking like terms to one side of the equation
3x-2x=2-3
x= -1
I hope this helps....

3x + 3 = 2x + 2
3x = 2x - 1 (subtract 3 from both sides)
1x = -1 (subtract 2x from both sides)
x = -1 (remove 1 from x because it is unnecessary)
To check, plug -1 in for x and calculate:
3(-1) + 3 = 2(-1) + 2
-3 + 3 = -2 + 2
0 = 0

3x+3=2x+2
3(x+1)-2(x+1)=0
x+1=0
or x = -1...

3x - 2x = 2-3
x = -1

3x - 2x = 2 - 3
x = - 1
CHECK
LHS = - 3 + 3 = 0
RHS = - 2 + 2 = 0
LHS = RHS
