15-12x=-5+2\left(2x-6\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 5-4x.
15-12x=-5+4x-12
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x-6.
15-12x=-17+4x
Subtract 12 from -5 to get -17.
15-12x-4x=-17
Subtract 4x from both sides.
15-16x=-17
Combine -12x and -4x to get -16x.
-16x=-17-15
Subtract 15 from both sides.
-16x=-32
Subtract 15 from -17 to get -32.
x=\frac{-32}{-16}
Divide both sides by -16.
x=2
Divide -32 by -16 to get 2.
