Use distributive property:
6x-30-2x-5=12x+3
4x-35=12x+3
Add (-12x) and 35 to both sides
-8x=38 x=-38/8=19/4
Edit:
6(-19/4)-2x-5=-54
12(-19/4)+3=-54
6x-30-2x-5=12x+3
4x-35=12x+3
Add (-12x) and 35 to both sides
-8x=38 x=-38/8=19/4
Edit:
6(-19/4)-2x-5=-54
12(-19/4)+3=-54

so first use distributive property to get
6x-30-2x-5=12x+3
then add like terms on each side to get
4x-35=12x+3
move 3 to other side and 4 to other as well to get
8x=-38
you get -4.75
now check. i could be wrong
6x-30-2x-5=12x+3
then add like terms on each side to get
4x-35=12x+3
move 3 to other side and 4 to other as well to get
8x=-38
you get -4.75
now check. i could be wrong

6(x-5) - 2x+5= 3(4x+1)
6x-30 -2x-5= 12x+3
4x-35=12x+3
4x=12x+38
-8x=38
x=-38/8
x=-19/4
6x-30 -2x-5= 12x+3
4x-35=12x+3
4x=12x+38
-8x=38
x=-38/8
x=-19/4
