5-6x+15=4x
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 2x-5.
20-6x=4x
Add 5 and 15 to get 20.
20-6x-4x=0
Subtract 4x from both sides.
20-10x=0
Combine -6x and -4x to get -10x.
-10x=-20
Subtract 20 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-20}{-10}
Divide both sides by -10.
x=2
Divide -20 by -10 to get 2.
