Answer 1

3x + 5 = 3(x - 5)
3x + 5 = 3x - 15
3x - 3x = -15 - 5
0 = - 20
Problem can't be solved

Answer 2

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

Distribute numbers outside of parentheses:

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

`3x+5=3x-15`

Subtract 3x from both sides:

`3x+5-3x=3x-15-3x`

`5=-15`

Subtract 5 from both sides:

`5-5=-15-5`

`0=-20`
