The solution

You have entered [src]
2 + -2*x + 15 = -5*(3 + 2*x)
$$\left(15 - 2 x\right) + 2 = - 5 \left(2 x + 3\right)$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
2-(2*x-15) = -5*(3+2*x)

Expand brackets in the left part
2-2*x+15 = -5*(3+2*x)

Expand brackets in the right part
2-2*x+15 = -5*3-5*2*x

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
17 - 2*x = -5*3-5*2*x

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 2 x = - 10 x - 32$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$8 x = -32$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 8
x = -32 / (8)

We get the answer: x = -4
