Not quite. This is where you made a mistake. \[3(x - 1) - (x + 5) = 2\]\[3x - 3 - x - 5 = 2\]Can you finish the rest?
I got to the point.
I actuall past that point
Um. This is what you put: \[3x-3-x+5=2\]\[3x - 3 - x - 5 = 2\]Do you see the difference? The -1 is distributed.
trying to make sure that I'm on the right path

Alright. Tell me what you get for x afterwards so that I check it :)
x=2

Not quite. \[3x - 3 - x - 5 = 2\]\[(3x - x) + (-3 - 5) = 2\]\[2x - 8 = 2\]\[2x = 10\]\[x = ?\]
