Combine 2x and -5x to get -3x.
-3x+15=3\left(5+6x\right)-12x
Add 7 and 8 to get 15.
-3x+15=15+18x-12x
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 5+6x.
-3x+15=15+6x
Combine 18x and -12x to get 6x.
-3x+15-6x=15
Subtract 6x from both sides.
-9x+15=15
Combine -3x and -6x to get -9x.
-9x=15-15
Subtract 15 from both sides.
-9x=0
Subtract 15 from 15 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -9 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
