6=(-2x+2)/(x+3)

6 = \frac{- 2 x + 2}{x + 3}

x = - 2

Solution steps

6 = \frac{- 2 x + 2}{x + 3}

Multiply both sides by

x + 3

6 (x + 3) = - 2 x + 2

Expand

6 (x + 3) : 6 x + 18

6 x + 18 = - 2 x + 2

Move

18

to the right side

6 x = - 2 x - 16

Move

2 x

to the left side

8 x = - 16

Divide both sides by

8

x = - 2
