    Step-by-step explanation: C

    To get the variable, x, alone, you need to subtract the only other number on that side of the equation, which is 6. Then, to even it out you have to subtract 6 from the other side as well. You are left with 5x=15. The final step, to get a naked x, is to divide both sides by 5.
