Step 1: We have the following equation:
3(x - 5) = 5x - (3 - x)
Step 2: Solve the parentheses
3x - 15 = 5x - 3 + x
Step 3: Like terms
3x - 5x -x = - 3 + 15
-3x = 12
Step 4: Dividing by -3 at both sides
-3x/-3 = 12/-3
x = -4
Step 5: Let's prove the answer is correct
3 (-4 - 5) = 5 * -4 - (3 - -4)
3 (-9) = -20 -3 - 4
-27 = - 27
The solution is correct
