$(6 x + 3) - 5 x = x - 3$ $(6x+3)-5x=color(blue)(x-3$

Refer to the explanation for the process.

Simplify:

$(6 x + 3) - 5 x$ $(6x+3)-5x$

Remove the parentheses.

$6 x + 3 - 5 x$ $6x+3-5x$

Gather like terms.

$(6 x - 5 x) + 3$ $(6x-5x)+3$

Simplify.

$x + 3$ $x+3$

x = -3

Given:

$(6 x + 3) - 5 x = 0$ $(6x + 3) - 5x = 0$

Subtract the like terms;

$6 x - 5 x + 3 = 0$ $6x - 5x +3 = 0$
$x + 3 = 0$ $x + 3 = 0$
$x = - 3$ $color(red)(x = -3)$

How do you simplify (6x+3)−5x(6x + 3) - 5x?
