5\left(x+2\right)-3x=30
Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 3,5.
5x+10-3x=30
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x+2.
2x+10=30
Combine 5x and -3x to get 2x.
2x=30-10
Subtract 10 from both sides.
2x=20
Subtract 10 from 30 to get 20.
x=\frac{20}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=10
Divide 20 by 2 to get 10.
