3(2x+2)=3x-15
mutiply the bracket by 3
(3)(2x)(3)(2)= 6x+6
6x+6= 3x-15
move 3x to the other side
sign changes from +3x to -3x
6x-3x+6= 3x-3x-15
6x-3x+6= -15
3x+6= -15
move +6 to the other side
sign changes from +6 to -6
3x+6-6= -15-6
3x= -21
divide by 3 for both sides
3x/3= -21/3
x= -7
Answer: x= -7
