- 15x = - 5 (3x + 3)

Remove the parentheses on the right side:

- 15x = -15x - 15

Add 15x to each side:

0 = -15

This is obviously not true. But it would have to be true in order for the equation

given in the question to be true. That tells us that there is no number for 'x'

that can make the original equation a true statement. In other words, there is

no solution.
