Addition property of equality     x%2B3%28x-5%29-x%2B2%28x%2B5%29=0

Distributive property             x%2B3x-15-x%2B2x%2B10=0

Addition property                  x%2B3x-x%2B2x=15-10

Combine like-terms, simple arithmetic        5x=5

Multiplication Property & multiplicative inverse  %281%2F5%295x=%281%2F5%295

DONE                                        highlight%28x=1%29
