Answer:
The way to solve this equation is to simply get x by itself on one side of the equal sign. Given the simplicity of this equation, we'll keep it on the left side that it's already on.
First we'll add 2 to both sides to get it off the left side.
3x-2=15
+2 | +2
3x=15
Now all we have left to do is divide by 3 on both sides to get the 3 off of the x because "3x" is a simpler way of writing "3 * x" or "3(x)", it is also a combined term but since this is algebra I'll assume you knew that already.
Divide 3 from both sides.
3x=15
/3 | /3
x=5
Your final answer is x=5.
