Rewrite it first try doing
3x + 15 = 63
Then combine your like terms since you only have one x variable you dont do anything to it, but you have two numbers without variables 15 and 63 you do the opposite of +15 which is -15 to 63 so 63-15 which equals 48 then you will divide 48/3 which will give you then answer of x = 16
