    x=-2

    Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

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

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

    3x+-15+-3=5x+-10+2x

    (3x) + (-15+-3) = (5x+2x) + (-10) (Combine Like Terms)

    3x+-18=7x+-10

    3x-18=7x-10

    Step 2: Subtract 7x from both sides.

    3x-18-7x=7x-10-7x

    -4x-18=-10

    Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.

    -4x-18+18=-10+18

    -4x=8

    Step 4: Divide both sides by - 4.

    -4x

    -4

    =

    8

    -4

    x=-2
