Answer: x = 7/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 - Solve the brackets first by opening it.
15x/5 - 10/5 - 2/5 = 2x - 2/2
Step 2 - Bring x term to one side and constant to the other side.
15x/5 - 2x = -2/2 + 10/5 + 2/5 (Sign changes when it goes to other side)
Step 3 - Now Solve it.
3x - 2x = -1 + 2 + 2/5 (15 was divisible by 5 on 3 so we get 3x.)
x = ( -5 + 10 + 2 )/5
x = ( -5 + 12 )/5
x = 7/5
