To solve this equation, you'll need to use the distributive property and combine like terms on both sides.
First, distribute on both sides:
3(6-x) = 18-3x
12(x-3) = 12x - 36
5(2-x) = 10-5x
Now, substitute these expressions back into the original equation:
18-3x = 12x - 36 - 10 + 5x
Now, combine like terms:
15 - 3x = 12x - 36 - 10 + 5x15 - 3x = 12x - 46 + 5x
Now, isolate the variable terms:
15 - 3 = 17x - 46
Now, combine like terms again:
12 = 17x - 46
Now, isolate the variable term:
17x = 12 + 46
17x = 58
x = 58/17
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 58/17
