Solve for x (x+3)+0+(5x)=15

$(x + 3) + 0 + (5 x) = 15$

Step 1

Simplify $(x + 3) + 0 + 5 x$ .

Add $x + 3$ and $0$ .

$x + 3 + 5 x = 15$

Add $x$ and $5 x$ .

$6 x + 3 = 15$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $3$ from both sides of the equation.

$6 x = 15 - 3$

Subtract $3$ from $15$ .

$6 x = 12$

Step 3

Divide each term in $6 x = 12$ by $6$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $6 x = 12$ by $6$ .

$\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{12}{6}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $6$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{6 x}{6} = \frac{12}{6}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{12}{6}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $12$ by $6$ .

$x = 2$
