1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the following equation for xx:
(2x+1)24(x3)2=5x+10(2x+1)^2 - 4(x-3)^2 = 5x+10

2. Solution Steps

First, expand the squared terms:
(2x+1)2=(2x)2+2(2x)(1)+12=4x2+4x+1(2x+1)^2 = (2x)^2 + 2(2x)(1) + 1^2 = 4x^2 + 4x + 1
(x3)2=x22(x)(3)+32=x26x+9(x-3)^2 = x^2 - 2(x)(3) + 3^2 = x^2 - 6x + 9
Substitute these expressions back into the original equation:
(4x2+4x+1)4(x26x+9)=5x+10(4x^2 + 4x + 1) - 4(x^2 - 6x + 9) = 5x + 10
4x2+4x+14x2+24x36=5x+104x^2 + 4x + 1 - 4x^2 + 24x - 36 = 5x + 10
Simplify the equation:
(4x24x2)+(4x+24x)+(136)=5x+10(4x^2 - 4x^2) + (4x + 24x) + (1 - 36) = 5x + 10
28x35=5x+1028x - 35 = 5x + 10
Subtract 5x5x from both sides:
28x5x35=5x5x+1028x - 5x - 35 = 5x - 5x + 10
23x35=1023x - 35 = 10
Add 35 to both sides:
23x35+35=10+3523x - 35 + 35 = 10 + 35
23x=4523x = 45
Divide both sides by 23:
x=4523x = \frac{45}{23}

3. Final Answer

The final answer is x=4523x = \frac{45}{23}.
