Answer:

x = 10

Explanation:


(2(x+5))/(3) =2x-10

Step 1. Distribute


(2x+10)/(3) =2x-10

Step 2. Multiply both sides by 3 then distribute


2x+10=3(2x-10)


2x+10=6x-30

Step 3. Subtract 10 from both sides


2x=6x-40

Step 4. Subtract 6x from both sides


-4x=-40

Step 5. Divide both sides by -4


x=10
