Looking at the denominator
(3x + -2) + (2 + -3x)
= 3x - 2 + 2 - 3x
= 0
which means the answer is infinity.

You first want to simplify your denominator.
(3x+-2)+(2+-3x)
(3x-2) + (2-3x)
Distribute your plus sign between the two problems.
3x-2+2-3x
Everything cancels each other out, leaving the denominator as 0. The problem is undefined because it is impossible to divide by zero.
Hope this helps!

JD is right
When you simplify the denominator, it is 0. Anything divided by 0 is undefined.
Hope that helps
