The solution

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

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

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
15 - 4*x = 5

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 4 x = -10$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = -10 / (-4)

We get the answer: x = 5/2
