3x-5=2 (2x+5) how do you slove it

x = - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Expand by using distributive property

3x - 5 = 4x + 10

Subtract 4x from both sides

3x - 5 - 4x = 4x + 10 - 4x

Simplifying

-x - 5 = 10

Add 5 to both sides

-x - 5 + 5 = 10 + 5

Simplifying

-x = 15

Divide both sides by - 1

x = - 15
