Simplifying

5x + 3 = -15 + 2x

Reorder the terms:

3 + 5x = -15 + 2x

Solving

3 + 5x = -15 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

3 + 5x + -2x = -15 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

3 + 3x = -15 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

3 + 3x = -15 + 0

3 + 3x = -15

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + 3x = -15 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + 3x = -15 + -3

3x = -15 + -3

Combine like terms: -15 + -3 = -18

3x = -18

Divide each side by '3'.

x = -6

Simplifying

x = -6
