Answer:

There are no solutions.

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5(3x+9)−2x=15x−2(x−5)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(3x+9)−2x=15x−2(x−5)

(5)(3x)+(5)(9)+−2x=15x+(−2)(x)+(−2)(−5)(Distribute)

15x+45+−2x=15x+−2x+10

(15x+−2x)+(45)=(15x+−2x)+(10)(Combine Like Terms)

13x+45=13x+10

13x+45=13x+10

Step 2: Subtract 13x from both sides.

13x+45−13x=13x+10−13x

45=10

Step 3: Subtract 45 from both sides.

45−45=10−45

0=−35

There are no solutions.
