Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{x=-0.5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]5(2x+4)=15\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\dfrac{5\!\!\!\!\diagup(2x+4)}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup}=\dfrac{15\!\!\!\!\!\diagup}{5\!\!\!\!\diagup}\\\\2x+4=3\qquad\text{subtract 4 from both sides}\\\\2x+4-4=3-4\\\\2x=-1\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{-1}{2}\\\\\boxed{x=-0.5}[/tex]
