6x-15=2\left(15-x\right)-1esx
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2x-5.
6x-15=30-2x-1esx
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 15-x.
30-2x-1esx=6x-15
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-2x+30-esx=6x-15
Reorder the terms.
30-esx=6x-15+2x
Add 2x to both sides.
30-esx=8x-15
Combine 6x and 2x to get 8x.
-esx=8x-15-30
Subtract 30 from both sides.
-esx=8x-45
Subtract 30 from -15 to get -45.
\left(-ex\right)s=8x-45
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-ex\right)s}{-ex}=\frac{8x-45}{-ex}
Divide both sides by -ex.
s=\frac{8x-45}{-ex}
Dividing by -ex undoes the multiplication by -ex.
s=\frac{45-8x}{ex}
Divide 8x-45 by -ex.
6x-15=2\left(15-x\right)-1esx
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2x-5.
6x-15=30-2x-1esx
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 15-x.
6x-15+1esx=30-2x
Add 1esx to both sides.
6x-15+1esx+2x=30
Add 2x to both sides.
8x-15+1esx=30
Combine 6x and 2x to get 8x.
8x+1esx=30+15
Add 15 to both sides.
8x+1esx=45
Add 30 and 15 to get 45.
esx+8x=45
Reorder the terms.
\left(es+8\right)x=45
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(es+8\right)x}{es+8}=\frac{45}{es+8}
Divide both sides by 8+es.
x=\frac{45}{es+8}
Dividing by 8+es undoes the multiplication by 8+es.
