Question 707938
{{{-3(x+5)=3(x-1)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-3x-15=3x-3}}} Distribute.



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



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



{{{-6x=-3+15}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-6x=12}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(12)/(-6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-6}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-2}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-2}}}
