The solution

You have entered [src]
3*(x + 5) = 5*(12 - x) - 5
$$3 \left(x + 5\right) = 5 \left(12 - x\right) - 5$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
3*(x+5) = 5*(12-x)-5

Expand brackets in the left part
3*x+3*5 = 5*(12-x)-5

Expand brackets in the right part
3*x+3*5 = 5*12-5*x-5

Looking for similar summands in the right part:
15 + 3*x = 55 - 5*x

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$3 x = 40 - 5 x$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$8 x = 40$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 8
x = 40 / (8)

We get the answer: x = 5
