Question 362841
{{{5(2x-6)=7x-3}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{10x-30=7x-3}}} Distribute.



{{{10x=7x-3+30}}} Add {{{30}}} to both sides.



{{{10x-7x=-3+30}}} Subtract {{{7x}}} from both sides.



{{{3x=-3+30}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{3x=27}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(27)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=9}}} Reduce.
