Answer:

5x = 16

Explanation:

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

3x + 3 x 2 = 2x + 2 x 5

3x + 6 = 2x + 10

3x + 2x = 10 + 6

5x = 16

Given the equation:


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

solve for x:


\begin{gathered} 3x+3\cdot2=2x+2\cdot5 \\ 3x+6=2x+10 \end{gathered}

Combine like terms:


\begin{gathered} 3x-2x=10-6 \\ \\ x=4 \end{gathered}
