Answer:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

3+2x−5=x+15

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3+2x−5=x+15

3+2x+−5=x+15

(2x)+(3+−5)=x+15(Combine Like Terms)

2x+−2=x+15

2x−2=x+15

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

2x−2−x=x+15−x

x−2=15

Step 3: Add 2 to both sides.

x−2+2=15+2

x=17

Answer:

x=17
