Solve 3 (x-5) = 6x - 3

Evaluate

3 (x - 5) = 6 x - 3

Expand the expression

More Steps

3 x - 15 = 6 x - 3

Move the expression to the left side

3 x - 15 - 6 x = - 3

Move the expression to the right side

3 x - 6 x = - 3 + 15

Add and subtract

More Steps

- 3 x = - 3 + 15

Add and subtract

- 3 x = 12

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

3 x = - 12

Divide both sides

\frac{3 x}{3} = \frac{- 12}{3}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 12}{3}
