Step 1 - Distributive Property
Step 2 - Combine Like Terms
Step 3 - How many solutions
Step 4 - Why is there that many solutions?

Step 1 - Distributive Property: -5x - x + 15 = -6x + 15 = -3(2x) + 3(5) = -6x + 15

Step 2 - Combine Like Terms: -6x + 15 = -6x + 15
Step 3 - How many solutions: There is one solution
Step 4 - Why is there that many solutions: Because the equation simplifies to -6x + 15 = -6x + 15, which is true for all values of x.
