The solution to 3x + 5 = 5(x + 3) is x = -2. To solve this equation, start by distributing the 5 on the right side of the equation: 5x + 15 = 5x + 15. Then, subtract 5x from both sides to get 15 = 0. Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 15 to get x = -2.

Answer:


  • \mathrm{x=-5}

Explanation:


\mathrm{3x+5=5(x+3)}

Expand:-


\mathrm{3x+5=5x+15}

Subtract 5x from both sides:-


\mathrm{-2x+5=15}

Subtract 5 from both sides:-


\mathrm{-2x=15-5}


\mathrm{-2x=10}

Divide both sides by -2:-


\mathrm{\cfrac{-2x}{-2}=\cfrac{10}{-2}}


\mathrm{x=-5}
