Answer:

x=3

Explanation:

3 times (2x+5)-23=10 can be rewritten as 3(2x+5)-23=10

6x+15-23=10 ----> Use distributive Property

6x-8=10 ------------> Combine Like Terms

6x=18 -----------------> Use inverse operations; add 8 on both sides; simplify

x=3 ---------------------> Use inverse operations, divide by 3, simplify
