$\"2x-5%28x-3%29+=+2%28x-10%29\"$ Simplify by using the \"distributive property\".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-5x%2B15+=+2x-20\"$ Subtract 2x from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-5x%2B15+=+-20\"$ Subtract 15 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-5x+=+-35\"$ Finally, divide both sides by -5.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x+=+7%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
