1. Problem Description

We are asked 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, we 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
Next, we want to combine the xx terms and the constant terms.
(2x65x)+(95103)=3(2x - \frac{6}{5}x) + (\frac{9}{5} - \frac{10}{3}) = 3
To combine the xx terms, we need a common denominator. The common denominator of 1 and 5 is 5, so we have:
2x=105x2x = \frac{10}{5}x
105x65x=45x\frac{10}{5}x - \frac{6}{5}x = \frac{4}{5}x
To combine the constant terms, we need a common denominator. The common denominator of 5 and 3 is 15, so we have:
95=2715\frac{9}{5} = \frac{27}{15}
103=5015\frac{10}{3} = \frac{50}{15}
27155015=2315\frac{27}{15} - \frac{50}{15} = -\frac{23}{15}
So now our equation looks like:
45x2315=3\frac{4}{5}x - \frac{23}{15} = 3
Add 2315\frac{23}{15} to both sides:
45x=3+2315\frac{4}{5}x = 3 + \frac{23}{15}
45x=4515+2315\frac{4}{5}x = \frac{45}{15} + \frac{23}{15}
45x=6815\frac{4}{5}x = \frac{68}{15}
Multiply both sides by 54\frac{5}{4}:
x=681554x = \frac{68}{15} \cdot \frac{5}{4}
x=684515x = \frac{68}{4} \cdot \frac{5}{15}
x=17113x = \frac{17}{1} \cdot \frac{1}{3}
x=173x = \frac{17}{3}

3. Final Answer

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