Answer

x=72x = \frac{7}{2}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Cross-multiply the terms in the proportion.

    (6x+5)(x−3)=(3x−4)(2x−5)(6x+5)(x-3) = (3x-4)(2x-5)
  2. Expand both sides of the equation.

    6x2−18x+5x−15=6x2−15x−8x+206x^2 - 18x + 5x - 15 = 6x^2 - 15x - 8x + 20 6x2−13x−15=6x2−23x+206x^2 - 13x - 15 = 6x^2 - 23x + 20
  3. Subtract 6x26x^2 from both sides and rearrange the terms to isolate xx.

    −13x−15=−23x+20-13x - 15 = -23x + 20

    Add 23x23x to both sides:

    −13x+23x−15=20-13x + 23x - 15 = 20 10x−15=2010x - 15 = 20

    Add 15 to both sides:

    10x=20+1510x = 20 + 15 10x=3510x = 35
  4. Solve for xx.

    x=3510x = \frac{35}{10} x=72x = \frac{7}{2}
