Question

Solve the equation:

$3(x-3)=5(2x+1)$

Answer 1

Simplify the given equation to find $x$

Given that, $3(x-3)=5(2x+1)$

$\Rightarrow 3x-9=10x+5$

$\Rightarrow 3x-10x=9+5$

$\Rightarrow -7x=14$

$\Rightarrow 7x=-14$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-14}{7}$

$\Rightarrow x=-2$

Hence, the value of $x$ is $2$
