Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2 + 2x + -5 = 5[x + 3]

Reorder the terms:

2 + -5 + 2x = 5[x + 3]

Combine like terms: 2 + -5 = -3

-3 + 2x = 5[x + 3]

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 2x = 5[3 + x]

-3 + 2x = [3 * 5 + x * 5]

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

Solving

-3 + 2x = 15 + 5x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.

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

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

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

Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 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
