5x=45+3\left(x-25\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 3,5.
5x=45+3x-75
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-25.
5x=-30+3x
Subtract 75 from 45 to get -30.
5x-3x=-30
Subtract 3x from both sides.
2x=-30
Combine 5x and -3x to get 2x.
x=\frac{-30}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=-15
Divide -30 by 2 to get -15.
