Remove parentheses $(-a)=-a$
$15x-20=6x-(x+2)-x+3$
Group like terms
$15x-20=6x-x-(x+2)+3$
Add similar elements: $ 6x-x=5x$
$15x-20=5x-(x+2)+3$
Expand $5x-(x+2)+3:{\quad}4x+1$
$15x-20=4x+1$
Move $ 20 $to the right side
$15x=4x+21$
Move $ 4x $to the left side
$11x=21$
Divide both sides by $11$
$x=\frac{21}{11}$

Exercise The temperature T in degrees Celsius of a chemical reaction is given as a function of time t, expressed in minutes, by the function defined on ΒΏ by: T (t )=(20 t +10)eβˆ’0.5t. 1) What is the initial temperature? 2) Show that T' (t )=(βˆ’10 t +15)eβˆ’0 .5t. 3) Study the sign of T' (t ), then draw up the table of variations of T . We do not ask for the limit of T in +∞. 4) What is the maximum temperature reached by the reaction chemical. We will give an approximate value to within 10βˆ’2. 5) After how long does the temperature T go back down to its initial value? We will give an approximate value of this time in minutes and seconds.
