Expanding the equation we get $\"3%2Ax%2B3%2A6=5%2Ax-5%2A4\"$ which simplifies to $\"3x%2B18=5x-20\"$ . Now add 20 to both sides to get $\"3x%2B18%2B20=5x-20%2B20\"$ which reduces to $\"3x%2B38=5x\"$ . Now substract 3x from both sides $\"3x-3x%2B38=5x-3x\"$ and that reduces to $\"38=2x\"$ . Dividing both sides by 38, we get x=19. \n" ); document.write( "
