You can put this solution on YOUR website!
5 + 3[ 1 + 2(2x - 3)] = 6(x + 5)
Distribute on both sides!
5 + 3[1 + 4x - 6] = 6x + 30
Move the 5 across and simplify the left
3[-5 + 4x] = 6x + 25
Distribute
-15 + 12x = 6x + 25
Move the 6x to the left and -15 to right
6x = 40
x = 40/6 = 20/3
Hope this helps
