1. solve

2x + 3(x - 5) = 15
2x + 3(x - 5) = 15

Explanation:

Step1: Expand the expression

$2x+3(x - 5)=2x+3x-15$

Step2: Combine like - terms

$2x + 3x-15=5x-15$
So the equation becomes $5x-15 = 15$.

Step3: Add 15 to both sides

$5x-15 + 15=15 + 15$
$5x=30$

Step4: Divide both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{30}{5}$
$x = 6$

Answer:

$x = 6$
