Answer:
5(x+3) = 2(x-1)
5x + 15 = 2x - 2 ( open the brackets )
5x - 2x = -2 -15 ( transpose )
3x = -17
x = -17/3

x = -17/3
Explanation:
Given:
5(x+3)=2(x-1)
Solution:
==> let, solve LHS
==> 5(x+3)
==> Multiply by 5
==> 5x+15
==> LHS = 5x+15
==> Solve RHS
==> 2(x-1)
==> Multiply by 2
==> 2x-2
==> RHS = 2x-2
==> LHS=RHS
==> 5x+15 = 2x-2
==> Separate x coefficient and constant
==> 5x-2x = -2-15
==> 3x = -17
==> x = -17/3
==> x = - 5.66
