7%2B5%28x-3%29=3%28x%2B2%29 Start with the given equation.


7%2B5x-15=3x%2B6 Distribute.


5x-8=3x%2B6 Combine like terms on the left side.


5x=3x%2B6%2B8 Add 8 to both sides.


5x-3x=6%2B8 Subtract 3x from both sides.


2x=6%2B8 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x=14 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2814%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


x=7 Reduce.
