5c+15=5(c+3)
all you have to do is factor out the 5 out of both terms of the equation (5c/5=c and 15/5=3)

5c + 15 = 5
subtract 15 from both sides:
5c + 15 - 15 = 5 - 15
now combine like terms; notice that you have moved the 15 to the right hand side of the equation:
5c = 5 -15 or 5c = -10
divide both sides by the 5 in 5c:
5c / 5 = -10 / 5
so your answer is c = -2

5c + 15 = 5
5c = 5-15
5c = - 10
c= -10/5
c= -2

5c + 15 = 5
-15 -15
subtract -15 from both sides
5c = - 10
5c/5 = - 10/5
Divide 5 from both sides
c = - 2
The answer is c = - 2

5c+15=5
5c=5-15
5c=-10
5(-2)=-10
-10 = -10
c = -2

5c+15=5(5)
5.2+15=25
10+15=25
25=25 then c =2

5c+15=5
5c+15-15=5-15
5c=-10
5/5c=-10/5
c=-2
OR DO YOU MEAN WAT NEEDS TO BE MULTIPLIED BY 5 TO GET 5C+15 BECAUSE THEN THE ANSWER WOULD BE (c+3) BECAUSE IF YOU USE THE DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY ON 5(c+3), YOU WOULD GET 5C+15.
