Answer:

0=0

Explanation:

3x- 15=3 (x- 5)

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

3x-15=3(x-5)

Reorder the terms in parentheses

3x-15=+(+3x-15)

Remove unnecessary parentheses

+3x-15=+3x-15

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

+3x-3x=-15+15

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

0x=0

0=0

This equation is an identity, so all real numbers are solutions.
