Question 619928
{{{-3(x-5)-8x=-3x-15+2x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-3x+15-8x=-3x-15+2x}}} Distribute.



{{{-11x+15=-3x-15+2x}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-11x+15=-x-15}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-11x=-x-15-15}}} Subtract {{{15}}} from both sides.



{{{-11x+x=-15-15}}} Add {{{x}}} to both sides.



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



{{{-10x=-30}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-30)/(-10)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-10}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=3}}} Reduce.
