Answer:

x = 23

Explanation:

Given


(x-11)/(2) -
(x-3)/(5) = 2

Multiply through by 10 ( the LCM of 2 and 5 ) to clear the fractions

5(x - 11) - 2(x - 3) = 20 ← distribute and simplify left side )

5x - 55 - 2x + 6 = 20

3x + 49 = 20 ( add 49 to both sides )

3x = 69 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 23
