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

Distribute 3 in 5x+2 and -5 in 3x-5


15x+6=-15x+25+3x

Multiplying 2 negatives will be positive (Same goes to dividing 2 negatives.)


15x+15x-3x=25-6

Move the x term to the same side and constant term to the same side.

(Whenever you move to another side, change the sign/operator to opposite. From plus to minus and from multiply to divide.)


27x=19\\x=(19)/(27)

Thus, the answer is 19/27
