Answer:

x =
(3)/(4) , x = 20

Explanation:

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

Multiply through by (x + 2)(3x - 5) to eliminate the fractions

2(3x - 5)² - 5(x + 2)² = 3(x + 2)(3x - 5) ← expand factors on both sides

2(9x² - 30x + 25) - 5(x² + 4x + 4) = 3(3x² + x - 10) ← distribute parenthesis

18x² - 60x + 50 - 5x² - 20x - 20 = 9x² + 3x - 30 ← simplify left side

13x² - 80x + 30 = 9x² + 3x - 30 ( subtract 9x² + 3x - 30 from both sides )

4x² - 83x + 60 = 0 factor by splitting the x- term

4x² - 80x - 3x + 60 = 0

4x(x - 20) - 3(x - 20) = 0

(4x - 3)(x - 20) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

4x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 4x = 3 ⇒ x =
(3)/(4)

x - 20 = 0 ⇒ x = 20
