Hello!
First, let's write the problem.
[tex]3\left(x-2\right)+2\left(x+1\right)=-14[/tex]
Apply the distributive property on the left side of the equation.
[tex]=3x-6+2x+2[/tex]
Add like terms.
[tex]=5x-4[/tex]
Let's plug that in into the original equation.
[tex]5x-4=-14[/tex]
Add 4 to both sides.
[tex]5x-4+4=-14+4[/tex]
[tex]5x=-10[/tex]
Divide both sides by 5.
[tex]\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{-10}{5}[/tex]
Our final answer would be,
[tex]x=-2[/tex]
You can feel free to let me know if you have any questions regarding this!
Thanks!

expand ~ 3x−6+2x+2=−14
Simplify ~ 5x−4=−145x-4=-145x−4=−14
Add 4 to both sides~ 5x=−14+4
Simplify ~ 5x=−10
Divide both sides by 5~ x=−5 divided by 10
Simplify~ x=−2
Simplify ~ 5x−4=−145x-4=-145x−4=−14
Add 4 to both sides~ 5x=−14+4
Simplify ~ 5x=−10
Divide both sides by 5~ x=−5 divided by 10
Simplify~ x=−2
