Explanation:
#"collect x terms on one side of the equation and"#
#"numeric values on the other side"#
#"subtract 2x from both sides"#
#cancel(2x)cancel(-2x)+2=3x-2x-63#
#rArr2=x-63#
#"add 63 to both sides"#
#2+63=xcancel(-63)cancel(+63)#
#rArr65=xtox=65#
#color(blue)"As a check"# Substitute this value into the equation and if both sides are equal then it is the solution.
#"left "=(2xx65)+2=130+2=132#
#"right "=(3xx65)-63=195-63=132#
#rArrx=65" is the solution"#
