Question
Solve the following equation and also check your result in case:
$\frac{2\text{x}+5}{3}=3\text{x}-10$

Answer

$\frac{2\text{x}+5}{3}=3\text{x}-10$
$2\text{x}+5=9\text{x}-30$
$9\text{x}-2\text{x}=5+30$
$7\text{x}=35$
$\text{x}=\frac{35}{7}$
$\text{x}=5$
Verification:
$\text{L.H.S.}=\frac{10+5}{3}=\frac{15}{3}=5$
$\text{R.H.S.}=15-10=5$
$\therefore\text{L.H.S.}=\text{R.H.S.}\text{ for x}=5$
