Answer:
x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression:
[tex]\sf 3(x - 5) = 2(x + 5)[/tex]
distribute inside parenthesis
[tex]\sf 3x - 15 = 2x + 10[/tex]
collect like terms
[tex]\sf 3x -2x = 10+15[/tex]
simplify following
[tex]\sf x =25[/tex]
To check answer:
substitute x = 25 in equation
[tex]\sf 3(25 - 5) = 2(25+5)[/tex]
simplify
[tex]\sf 3(20) = 2(30)[/tex]
evaluate
[tex]\sf 60=60[/tex]
As the statement is true, the answer is correct.
