Question 8912
{{{(2/3)x-5=5(x-3)}}}
clear the parentheses:
{{{2x/3-5=5x-15}}}
add 5 to both sides:
{{{2x/3  =5x-10}}}
subtract 5x from both sides:
{{{2x/3-5x=-10}}}
convert 5x to a fraction
{{{2x/3-15x/3=-10}}}
combine x terms:
{{{-13x/3=-10}}}
multiply both sides by 3 to clear the denominator:
{{{-13x=-30}}}
divide both sides by -13
{{{x=30/13}}}
