Answer:
x= -11
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Expand and distribute.
2x - 3 = 5x + 30
2. Subtract 2x from both sides.
2x - 3 = 5x + 30
-2x -2x
---------------------
-3 = 3x + 30
4 Subtract 30 from both sides.
-3 = 3x + 30
-30 -30
---------------------
-33 = 3x
6. Divide both sides by 33.
-33/3 = 3x/3
-11 = x
7. Switch sides
x = -11
