    x=2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Question: 4 (2-x) + 15=3 (x+3)

    1) Distribute 4 to 2 and - x:

    8-4x+15=3 (x+3)

    2) Distribute 3 to x and 3:

    8-4x+15=3x+9

    3) Combine alike terms:

    23-4x=3x+9

    4) Add 4x to both sides:

    23=7x+9

    5) Subtract 9 from both sides:

    7x=14

    6) Divide both sides by 7:

    x=2
