[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation, first distribute the 2 and 3 on each side:

2(x+7) = 3(x+3)
2x + 14 = 3x + 9

Next, isolate x on one side of the equation by subtracting 2x from both sides:

2x - 2x + 14 = 3x - 2x + 9
14 = x + 9

Then, isolate x by subtracting 9 from both sides:

14 - 9 = x + 9 - 9
5 = x

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 5.
