1. Problem Description

We need to solve the following equation for xx:
23(3x5)35(2x3)=3\frac{2}{3}(3x-5) - \frac{3}{5}(2x-3) = 3.

2. Solution Steps

First, distribute the fractions into the parentheses:
23(3x)23(5)35(2x)+35(3)=3\frac{2}{3}(3x) - \frac{2}{3}(5) - \frac{3}{5}(2x) + \frac{3}{5}(3) = 3
2x10365x+95=32x - \frac{10}{3} - \frac{6}{5}x + \frac{9}{5} = 3
Now, combine the terms with xx:
2x65x=105x65x=45x2x - \frac{6}{5}x = \frac{10}{5}x - \frac{6}{5}x = \frac{4}{5}x
So the equation becomes:
45x103+95=3\frac{4}{5}x - \frac{10}{3} + \frac{9}{5} = 3
Next, isolate the xx term. Add 103\frac{10}{3} and subtract 95\frac{9}{5} from both sides:
45x=3+10395\frac{4}{5}x = 3 + \frac{10}{3} - \frac{9}{5}
Find a common denominator for the right side, which is
1

5. $3 = \frac{45}{15}$

103=5015\frac{10}{3} = \frac{50}{15}
95=2715\frac{9}{5} = \frac{27}{15}
So,
45x=4515+50152715\frac{4}{5}x = \frac{45}{15} + \frac{50}{15} - \frac{27}{15}
45x=45+502715=6815\frac{4}{5}x = \frac{45+50-27}{15} = \frac{68}{15}
Now, multiply both sides by 54\frac{5}{4} to solve for xx:
x=681554x = \frac{68}{15} \cdot \frac{5}{4}
x=685154x = \frac{68 \cdot 5}{15 \cdot 4}
x=34060x = \frac{340}{60}
x=346x = \frac{34}{6}
x=173x = \frac{17}{3}

3. Final Answer

x=173x = \frac{17}{3}
