First, distribute the terms on both sides:

2(x+2) = 2x + 4

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

5(x-3) = 5x - 15

So the equation becomes:

2x + 4 - 15 + 3x = x + 5x - 15

Combine like terms:

Left side: 2x + 3x + 4 - 15 = 5x - 11

Right side: x + 5x - 15 = 6x - 15

So now the equation is:

5x - 11 = 6x - 15

Subtract 5x from both sides:

-11 = x - 15

Add 15 to both sides:

4 = x

So, the value of x which satisfies the equation is:

x = 4
