Question 634878
{{{(2/3)x-5=x-3}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3((2/cross(3))x-5)=3(x-3)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{3}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{2x-15=3x-9}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{2x=3x-9+15}}} Add {{{15}}} to both sides.



{{{2x-3x=-9+15}}} Subtract {{{3x}}} from both sides.



{{{-x=-9+15}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-x=6}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(6)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-6}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-6}}}
