Math Problem Statement

2x+3y+6=3y+3

Solution

Let's solve the equation step by step.

Given: 2x+3y+6=3y+32x + 3y + 6 = 3y + 3

Step 1: Simplify both sides.

Subtract 3y3y from both sides: 2x+6=32x + 6 = 3

Step 2: Isolate the variable xx.

Subtract 6 from both sides: 2x=362x = 3 - 6 2x=32x = -3

Step 3: Solve for xx.

Divide both sides by 2: x=32x = \frac{-3}{2}

So, the solution is: x=32x = -\frac{3}{2}
