The solution

You have entered [src]
-15 - 3*(x - 2) = 18 + x
$$- 3 \left(x - 2\right) - 15 = x + 18$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
-15-3*(x-2) = 18+x

Expand brackets in the left part
-15-3*x+3*2 = 18+x

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-9 - 3*x = 18+x

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 3 x = x + 27$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-4\right) x = 27$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = 27 / (-4)

We get the answer: x = -27/4
