Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

PEMDAS

Or parenthesis, exponent, multiply, divide, addition, and subtraction. (Order of operations)

3(6-x) + 2x = 15

    Start with multiplying

18 - 3x + 2x = 15

    then combine like terms

18 - x = 15

    subtract 18 from each side

-x = -3

    times each side by -1 to remove the negative

x = 3
