You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I know this is not an English tutoring site, but you need some instruction in that area as well as your math. Placing an exclamation point at the end of a sentence makes the sentence an imperative, in other words, a command. In effect, you are ordering someone to solve the two equations presented. Given that we are all volunteers, the mood of your expression is rather out of line.

1.) Distribute the 5 across the parentheses, then add -2x to both sides, then add 15 to both sides, collect terms, and finally divide by the resulting coefficient on the variable.

2.) The method is precisely the same, except for different numbers. Use the same procedure.
