Hello.

First, let's subtract 3 from both sides.

15x+3-3=50-3

15x=47

Now, in order to figure out what x equals, we need to divide both sides by 15:


\displaystyle(15x)/(15) =(47)/(15)


x=\displaystyle(47)/(15)

And we're done!

I hope it helps.

Have a great day.

x = 3.133

Explanation:

15x + 3 = 50

15x = 50 - 3

15x = 47

x = 47/15

x = 3.133

Hope it helps you!!
