%282x-9%29%2F5%2B3=2x Start with the given equation.


2x-9%2B15=10x Multiply every term by the LCD 5 to clear out the fraction.


2x%2B6=10x Combine like terms on the left side.


2x=10x-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


2x-10x=-6 Subtract 10x from both sides.


-8x=-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=%28-6%29%2F%28-8%29 Divide both sides by -8 to isolate x.


x=3%2F4 Reduce.
