    1.) expand

    3x - 15 - 5x = 25 + 6x

    2.) simplify

    -2x - 15 = 25 + 6x

    3.) add 2x to both sides

    -15 = 25 + 6x + 2x

    4.) simplify

    -15 = 25 + 8x

    5.) subtract 25 from both sides

    -15 - 25 = 8x

    6.) simplify - 15 - 25 to - 40

    -40 = 8x

    7.) divide both sides by 8

    -40/8 = x

    8.) x = - 5
