Answer:
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+1
3x+3=-2(x-1)-4
Use the distributive property to multiply-2 by x-1
3x+3=-2x-2
Add 2x to both sides
3x+3+2x=-2
Combine 3x and 2x
5x+3=-2
Subtract 3 from both sides
5x=-2-3
Subtract 3 from -2
5x=-5
Divide both sides by 5
x=-5/5
Divide -5 by 5
x=-1
