Verified Answer :

\(5(2x-3)=15\) 

\(2x-3=15/5\)  \(\text{ Divide both sides by 5}\) 

\(2x-3=3\) 

\(2x=3+3\)  \(\text{Add 3 to both sides}\) 

\(2x=6\) 

\(x=6/2\)  \(\text{Divide both sides by 2}\) 

\(x=3\)

Simplifying
5(2x + -3) = 15


Reorder terms:
5(-3 + 2x) = 15
(-3 5 + 2x 5) = 15
(-15 + 10x) = 15


Solving
-15 + 10x = 15

Solving for variable 'x'.


Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.


Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + 15 + 10x = 15 + 15


Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + 10x = 15 + 15
10x = 15 + 15

Combine like terms: 15 + 15 = 30
10x = 30
 Divide each side by '10'.
x = 3


Simplifying
x = 3
