$$\frac { x - 3 } { 2 } = \frac { 2 x + 4 } { 5 }$$

$x=23$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $10$, the least common multiple of $2,5$.

$$5\left(x-3\right)=2\left(2x+4\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $5$ by $x-3$.

$$5x-15=2\left(2x+4\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $2$ by $2x+4$.

$$5x-15=4x+8$$

Subtract $4x$ from both sides.

$$5x-15-4x=8$$

Combine $5x$ and $-4x$ to get $x$.

$$x-15=8$$

Add $15$ to both sides.

$$x=8+15$$

Add $8$ and $15$ to get $23$.

$$x=23$$
