5(x - 3) = 3(x + 2) how we will solve this question I didn't understand

The given question 5(x - 3) = 3(x + 2) is an equation in one variable 'x'.

 

We will solve to get a value of 'x' by doing some simplification on both sides of the equation.

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

5x - 15 = 3x + 6 

5x - 15 - 3x = 3x - 3x + 6 ......  (subtracting 3x from both sides)

2x - 15 = 6

2x = 6 + 15  .........................  (adding 15 on both sides)

2x = 21

x = 21/2
