    x = - 2/7

    Step-by-step explanation:

    3 (3 + 2) + 2 (x + 1) = - 5 (x - 3)

    Combine like terms

    3 (3 + 2) + 2 (x + 1) = - 5 (x - 3)

    3 (5) + 2 (x + 1) = - 5 (x - 3)

    15 + 2 (x + 1) = - 5 (x - 3)

    Distribute

    15 + 2x+2 = - 5x + 15

    Combine like terms

    2x+17 = - 5x+15

    Add 5x to each side

    2x+5x + 17 = - 5x+5x + 15

    7x + 17 = 15

    Subtract 17 from each side

    7x+17-17 = 15-17

    7x = - 2

    Divide each side by 7

    7x/7 = - 2/7

    x = - 2/7
