15-5x=3\left(5+x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 3-x.
15-5x=15+3x
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 5+x.
15-5x-3x=15
Subtract 3x from both sides.
15-8x=15
Combine -5x and -3x to get -8x.
-8x=15-15
Subtract 15 from both sides.
-8x=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 -8 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
