2(x-3)+5=(2x+6)
2x - 6 + 5 = 2x + 6
-1 = 6
which is a false statement, so your equation has no solution.

"pete traveled 1,380 miles in two day. the first day, he traveled 1.5 times as far as he did the second day. how far did he drive on the first day?"

let the distance traveled on the second day be x miles
then the distance he went the first day is 1.5x miles

so 1.5x + x = 1380
2.5x = 1380
x = 1380/2.5 = 552

Can you take it from there?
