Answer:

no solutions

Explanation:

3(x+5)-3 = 2(3x + 1) - 3x

open the parenthesis

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

add 3x to both sides of the equation

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

combine like terms

6x + 15 - 3 = 6x + 3

add 3 to both sides of the equation

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

6x + 15 = 6x + 6

subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

6x + 15 - 6 = 6x + 6 - 6

6x + 15 - 6 = 6x

6x + 9 = 6x

subtract 6x from both sides of the equation

9 = 0

since 9 does not equal 0, the answer is no solutions
