Answer:

all numbers

Explanation:

3x - 5(x + 6) = -2x -2(5 + 10)

Distribute on both sides.

3x - 5x - 30 = -2x - 10 - 20

Add 2x to both sides.

-2x - 30 = -2x - 30

-30 = -30

Since we get a true statement after only doing legal steps to solve the equation, the equation has an infinite number of solutions.

Answer: all numbers
