To solve the equation 2x + 5 = 15, we begin by isolating the variable x. First, we subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:

2x + 5 - 5 = 15 - 5

This simplifies to:

2x = 10

Next, we divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:

2x / 2 = 10 / 2

This results in:

x = 5

Thus, x equals 5, making that the correct solution to the equation.
