    Solve your equation step-by-step.

    3 (x+1) = - 2 (x-1) - 4

    Simplify both sides of the equation.

    3 (x+1) = - 2 (x-1) - 4

    Simplify:

    3x+3=-2x-2

    Add 2x to both sides.

    3x+3+2x=-2x-2+2x

    5x+3=-2

    Subtract 3 from both sides.

    5x+3-3=-2-3

    5x=-5

    Divide both sides by 5.

    5x/5 = - 5/5

    x=-1
