Question

-5 + 3(x + 5) = 2(3x - 4)

Explanation:

Step1: Expand both sides

$-5 + 3x + 15 = 6x - 8$

Step2: Simplify left side constants

$3x + 10 = 6x - 8$

Step3: Move x terms to right

$10 = 3x - 8$

Step4: Move constants to left

$18 = 3x$

Step5: Solve for x

$x = \frac{18}{3}$

Answer:

$x=6$
