welcome to openstudy

expand the parenthesis on the right then isolate the variable to one side then divide by the coefficient of the variable.

OpenStudy (triciaal):

remember this is an equation so whatever you do to one side also do to the other to maintain the balance

OpenStudy (triciaal):

do you know how to expand the parenthesis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 3 times 2x - 3 times 5 ? @triciaal

OpenStudy (triciaal):

no to expand the parenthesis multiply what is outside by each term inside
