Hey there!
2(x - 3) / y = 5
2(x - 3) / 5 = 5
2(x) + 2(-3) / 5 = 5
(2x - 6) 5 = 5
MULTPLY 5 to BOTH SIDES
(2x - 6)/5 * 5 = 5 * 5
SIMPLIFY IT!
2x - 6 = 5 * 5
2x - 6 = 25
ADD 6 to BOTH SIDES
2x - 6 + 6 = 25 + 6
SIMPLIFY IT!
2x = 25 + 6
2x = 31
DIVIDE 2 to BOTH SIDES
2x/2 = 31/2
SIMPLIFY IT!
x = 31/2
x = 15 1/2
Therefore, the answer should be:
x = 15 1/2
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
