Just subtract 15 from both sides.

True, to get the answer you need to get "x" by itself. So in order to do that in this problem, just do the reverse operation of "x". So you would just subtract 15 from both sides, just like Cat said.

And ofcourse whatever you do to the left, you must ALWAYS do the right of the equation.
