2x%2Bx%2B3%282x%2B5%29=5x-%28x-4%29%2B2x-10 Start with the given equation.


2x%2Bx%2B6x%2B15=5x%2Bx%2B2x-10 Distribute.


9x%2B15=5x%2Bx%2B2x-10 Combine like terms on the left side.


9x%2B15=8x-10 Combine like terms on the right side.


9x=8x-10-15 Subtract 15 from both sides.


9x-8x=-10-15 Subtract 8x from both sides.


x=-10-15 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=-25 Combine like terms on the right side.
