You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Distribute the 3
3(2x) + 3(-5) = 8x - 9
...
6x - 15 = 8x - 9
...
Group like terms

6x - 8x = -9 + 15
...
combine like terms
-2x = 6
...
Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x
cross%28-2%29x%2Fcross%28-2%29+=+6%2Fhighlight%28-2%29
...
highlight_green%28x+=+-3%29
