There is no solution. Bummer!

Explanation:

Add or subtract multiples of x to both sidesuntil only one term with x is left. Then do the same with the constant terms. Let's see what happens:

6x+3=3x+29x

Add 9x:

3x+3=3x+2

Subtract 3x:

3=2

We thought we were going to get a term with x left over but instead, they all canceled out. What's left has no solution!
