1. Distribute the -3 on the right side of the equation: -5x - x + 15 = -6x + 15
2. Combine like terms on the left side of the equation: -6x + 15 = -6x + 15
3. Subtract -6x from both sides of the equation: 15 = 15
4. The result of the equation is that 15 = 15, which is a true statement and indicates that the equation has infinitely many solutions.
Match the step with the correct result of the step process for solving this equation. −5x − x + 15 = −3(2x − 5)
