You can put this solution on YOUR website! 0.6x + 1.5 = 0.3x - 0.6(2x + 5)
get rid of these annoying decimals, mult each term by 10
6x + 15 = 3x - 6(2x+5)
6x + 15 = 3x - 12x - 30
6x = -9x - 30 - 15
6x + 9x = -45
15x = -45
x = -45/15
x = -3

Substitute -3 for x in the original problem to check this solutin
