Hi there

5x+3(x-5)=6x+2x-15

Simplify both sides of the equation

5x+3(x-5)=6x+2x-15

Distribute

5x+3x-15=6x+2x-15

Combine like terms

(5x+3x)-15= (6x+2x)-15

8x-15=8x-15

Subtract 8x from both sides

8x-15-8x=8x-15-8x

-15=-15

Add 15 to both sides

-15+15=-15+15

0=0

All real numbers are solutions

To solve this equation I used " The distributive property"


I hope that's help !

Good night !
