Question

$$\frac{ 2x+5 }{ 3 } =3x-10$$

Solve for x

$x=5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $3$.

$$2x+5=9x-30$$

Subtract $9x$ from both sides.

$$2x+5-9x=-30$$

Combine $2x$ and $-9x$ to get $-7x$.

$$-7x+5=-30$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$-7x=-30-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $-30$ to get $-35$.

$$-7x=-35$$

Divide both sides by $-7$.

$$x=\frac{-35}{-7}$$

Divide $-35$ by $-7$ to get $5$.

$$x=5$$
