2x-3%282x-5%29=7-2x Start with the given equation.


2x-6x%2B15=7-2x Distribute.


-4x%2B15=7-2x Combine like terms on the left side.


-4x=7-2x-15 Subtract 15 from both sides.


-4x%2B2x=7-15 Add 2x to both sides.


-2x=7-15 Combine like terms on the left side.


-2x=-8 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-8%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate x.


x=4 Reduce.
