Explanation:


2015 \: - \: (2015 \: / \: 5(x \: - \: 5) \: / 5) \: = \: 2014

  • First we do the division, and then we convert the division to a fraction.


2015 \: - \: (403 \: * \: (x \: - \: 5)/(5) ) \: = \: 2014

  • We proceed to calculate the product of the parentheses.


2015 \: - \: (403(x \: - \: 5))/(5) \: = \: 2014

  • We distribute "403" in the terms.


2015 \: - \: (403x \: - \: 5)/(5) \: = \: 2014

  • We proceed to multiply both sides of the equation by "5".


10075 \: - \: (403x \: - \: 2015) \: = \: 10070

  • Since we want to remove the parentheses but there is a negative sign in front (-) we change the signs of each term that contains the parentheses.


10075 \: - \: 403x \: + \: 2015 \: = \: 10070

  • We add the positive numbers.


12090 \: - \: 403x \: = \: 10070

  • We pass the member to the right side changing the sign.


- 403x \: = \: 10070 \: - \: 12090

  • We subtract the numbers.


- 403x \: = \: - 2020

  • Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by "403".


\boxed{ \bold{x \: = \: (2020)/(403) }}
