ok you just need to simplify the equation by steps, Start on the right side: and take 3(x+1), multiply the 3 through, so you get 3x+3. then the other side, take -2(x-1) - 4 and multiply that -2 through. Now you have -2x +2 -4. Simplify that again and you get -2x - 2. Now rewrite the whole thing. 3x+3=-2x-2. Put the x's on the left so subtract the -2x across, therefore 5x+3=-2, then take the +3 to the right half, so 5x= -5. now divide each side by 5, and you get X= -1. Hope that helps.
