3\left(x+5\right)-3\left(x+5\right)=2\left(2x-2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
3x+15-3\left(x+5\right)=2\left(2x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+5.
3x+15-3x-15=2\left(2x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x+5.
15-15=2\left(2x-2\right)
Combine 3x and -3x to get 0.
0=2\left(2x-2\right)
Subtract 15 from 15 to get 0.
0=4x-4
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x-2.
4x-4=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
4x=4
Add 4 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=\frac{4}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=1
Divide 4 by 4 to get 1.
