Answer:

x = 8

Explanation:

3x +5(x-6) = 3(x+5) -5 Remove the brackets.

3x + 5x - 30 = 3x +15 - 5 Collect like terms

8x - 30 = 3x + 10 Add 30 to both sides.

8x - 30 +30 = 3x + 10 + 30 Combine

8x = 3x + 40 Subtract 3x from both sides

8x - 3x = 3x - 3x + 40

5x = 40 Divide by 5

5x/5 = 40/5

x = 8
