To solve this equation, first distribute the numbers outside of the parentheses:
3(x-5) = 5(x-3) - 4(2-3x)
3x - 15 = 5x - 15 - 8 + 12x
Now simplify the equation by combining like terms:
3x - 15 = 5x - 15 - 8 + 12x3x - 15 = 5x - 23 + 12x3x - 15 = 17x - 23
Now, isolate x by moving the terms with x to one side of the equation:
3x - 15 = 17x - 23-20x = -8
Divide by -20 to solve for x:
x = -8 / -20x = 0.4
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 0.4.
