Answer 3

Starting with multiplying into the brackets

I got 2x-6-17 = 13-3x-6

Then you have to put every thing onto one side. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 4

2(x - 3) - 17 = 13 - 3(x + 2) (multiply through the parenthesis)
2x - 6 - 17 = 13 - 3x - 6 (combine like terms)
2x - 23 = 7 - 3x (now you want to get x's on one side)
2x + 3x - 23 = 7 - 3x + 3x) (I added 3x to both sides)
5x - 23 = 7 (now you want to get 5x by itself)
5x - 23 + 23 = 7 + 23 (I added 23 to both sides)
5x = 30 (now divide by 5 to get x by itself)
5x/5 = 30/5
x = 6
