-15+6x+2\left(x-1\right)=5-3x
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 5-2x.
-15+6x+2x-2=5-3x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-1.
-15+8x-2=5-3x
Combine 6x and 2x to get 8x.
-17+8x=5-3x
Subtract 2 from -15 to get -17.
-17+8x+3x=5
Add 3x to both sides.
-17+11x=5
Combine 8x and 3x to get 11x.
11x=5+17
Add 17 to both sides.
11x=22
Add 5 and 17 to get 22.
x=\frac{22}{11}
Divide both sides by 11.
x=2
Divide 22 by 11 to get 2.
