Answer 1

x=-5

Explanation:

0 + 3x = 0 + -15

3x = 0 + -15

3x=-15

Then, x=-5.

Answer 2

11x+7

Explanation:

This is because, in order to simplify, first you need to distribute the 2 into the x+5. So, you get 2x+10. Then you get 9x-3+2x+10. The 9x and 2x combine to get 11x. The -3+10 combine to get 7. So you have 11x+7.
