Solve 3(x – 5) – 15 = 48? totally forgot how to do these.. is it (3x-15)-15=48 then solve from there or what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got the first step right! 3x + 30 = 48 take away 30. 3x = 18 divide 18 by 3 and you should get 6

and when you take away, you have to take away from both sides!
