1. Problem Description

The problem asks to solve the equation 23(3x5)35(2x3)=3\frac{2}{3}(3x-5) - \frac{3}{5}(2x-3) = 3 for xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, distribute the fractions into the parentheses:
23(3x5)35(2x3)=3\frac{2}{3}(3x-5) - \frac{3}{5}(2x-3) = 3
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
2x1036x5+95=32x - \frac{10}{3} - \frac{6x}{5} + \frac{9}{5} = 3
Now, combine the xx terms and the constant terms:
2x6x5=10x56x5=4x52x - \frac{6x}{5} = \frac{10x}{5} - \frac{6x}{5} = \frac{4x}{5}
103+95=5015+2715=2315-\frac{10}{3} + \frac{9}{5} = -\frac{50}{15} + \frac{27}{15} = -\frac{23}{15}
So the equation becomes:
4x52315=3\frac{4x}{5} - \frac{23}{15} = 3
Add 2315\frac{23}{15} to both sides:
4x5=3+2315=4515+2315=6815\frac{4x}{5} = 3 + \frac{23}{15} = \frac{45}{15} + \frac{23}{15} = \frac{68}{15}
4x5=6815\frac{4x}{5} = \frac{68}{15}
Multiply both sides by 5:
4x=6815×5=6834x = \frac{68}{15} \times 5 = \frac{68}{3}
Divide both sides by 4:
x=683÷4=683×14=6812=173x = \frac{68}{3} \div 4 = \frac{68}{3} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{68}{12} = \frac{17}{3}

3. Final Answer

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