Question 555971
{{{5(x+3)=63-3x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5x+15=63-3x}}} Distribute.



{{{5x=63-3x-15}}} Subtract {{{15}}} from both sides.



{{{5x+3x=63-15}}} Add {{{3x}}} to both sides.



{{{8x=63-15}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{8x=48}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(48)/(8)}}} Divide both sides by {{{8}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=6}}} Reduce.
