The solution

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

Expand brackets in the left part
x-5*x-5*3 = 15

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-15 - 4*x = 15

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 4 x = 30$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = 30 / (-4)

We get the answer: x = -15/2
