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

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

Simplify both sides of the equation.

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

- 3x + 4 = - 2x + 11

Add 2x to both sides.

- 3x + 4 + 2x = - 2x + 11 + 2 x

-x + 4 = 11

Subtract 4 from both sides.

-x + 4 - 4 = 11 - 4

-x = 7

Divide both sides by - 1

-x 7

- - - = - - -

-1 - 1

Answer: x=-7

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

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

3x - 6x + 4 = - 2x + 8 + 3

-3x + 4 = - 2x + 11

+ 3x + 3x

4 = x + 11

- 11 - 11

-7 = x
