Answer:
The equation is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify. Combine like terms:
3x + 15 = (2x + x) + (10 + 5)
3x + 15 = (3x) + 15
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 3x and 15 from both sides:
3x (-3x) + 15 (-15) = 3x (-3x) + 15 (-15)
3x - 3x = 15 - 15
0 = 0
~ True. The two expressions are equal to each other.

Answer: x can equal any number
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 15 = 2x + 10 + x + 5
First, combine the like terms on the right side
2x + x = 3x
10 + 5 = 15
3x + 15 = 3x + 15
Subtract 15 from both sides
3x = 3x
Divide each side by 3
x = x
This means that x can equal any number, and the equation will always be true.
