5x%2B15=10%28x-3%29 Start with the given equation.


5x%2B15=10x-30 Distribute.


5x=10x-30-15 Subtract 15 from both sides.


5x-10x=-30-15 Subtract 10x from both sides.


-5x=-30-15 Combine like terms on the left side.


-5x=-45 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-45%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x.


x=9 Reduce.
