Answer:

x=0

Explanation:

Divide both sides by the numeric factor on the left side, then solve.

3(2x−5)=−15

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(2x−5)=−15

(3)(2x)+(3)(−5)=−15(Distribute)

6x+−15=−15

6x−15=−15

Step 2: Add 15 to both sides.

6x−15+15=−15+15

6x=0

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.

6x/6 = 0/6

x=0

Hope this helps :)
