Answer
$$ x = -13 $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 3(x+3) &= 2(x-2)&& \text{simplify left and right hand side} \\[1 em]3x+9 &= 2x-4&& \text{move the $ \color{blue}{ 2x } $ to the left side and $ \color{blue}{ 9 }$ to the right} \\[1 em]3x-2x &= -4-9&& \text{simplify left and right hand side} \\[1 em]x &= -13&& \\[1 em]x &= -13&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
