The solution

You have entered [src]
-2*(x + 4) = 3*x + 2
$$- 2 \left(x + 4\right) = 3 x + 2$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-2*(x+4) = 3*x+2

Expand brackets in the left part
-2*x-2*4 = 3*x+2

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 2 x = 3 x + 10$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-5\right) x = 10$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -5
x = 10 / (-5)

We get the answer: x = -2
