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

2 (x + 5) = \frac{2}{5} (x - 3)

x = - 7

Solution steps

2 (x + 5) = \frac{2}{5} (x - 3)

Expand

2 (x + 5) : 2 x + 10

Expand

\frac{2}{5} (x - 3) : \frac{2}{5} x - \frac{6}{5}

2 x + 10 = \frac{2}{5} x - \frac{6}{5}

Move

10

to the right side

2 x = - \frac{56}{5} + \frac{2}{5} x

Move

\frac{2}{5} x

to the left side

\frac{8}{5} x = - \frac{56}{5}

Multiply both sides by

5

8 x = - 56

Divide both sides by

8

x = - 7

- 2 (2 x - 3) = 5 + 4 x

3 x - 5 = - 2 x + 10

3 = 2

4 = f

6 = 7
