Answer:
The 3 steps you can use are as highlighted below, and the value of x is 7
Explanation:
4x + 3(x + 2) = 5(2x - 3)
Step 1: We expand first by opening the brackets
4x + 3*x + 3*2 = 5*2x -5*3
4x + 3x + 6 = 10x - 15
Step 2: we collect like terms on either side
4x +3x - 10x = -15 - 6
-3x = -21
Step 3: Divide both sides by -3
x = -21/-3
x = 7
