Given the linear equation:
x-2+3*(x-3) = 3*(4-x)-3
Expand brackets in the left part
x-2+3*x-3*3 = 3*(4-x)-3
Expand brackets in the right part
x-2+3*x-3*3 = 3*4-3*x-3
Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-11 + 4*x = 3*4-3*x-3
Looking for similar summands in the right part:
-11 + 4*x = 9 - 3*x
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$4 x = 20 - 3 x$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$7 x = 20$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 7
x = 20 / (7)
We get the answer: x = 20/7
