Answer:

Line 3

Explanation:

The problem's lines are:

Line 1. 5(x - 5) = 15

Line 2. 5x - 25 = 15

Line 3. 5x - 25 = 15 - 25

Line 4. 5x = -10

Line 5. 5x/5 = -10/5

Line 6. x = -2

The first error is in Line 3, where 25 was subtracted from just the right side, and where 25 should have been added to both sides instead.
