Find the value of x. 2(x-3)-17=13-3(x+2)

Solve your equation step-by-step.

2(x−3)−17=13−3(x+2)

Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(x−3)−17=13−3(x+2)

Simplify

2x−23=−3x+7

Add 3x to both sides.

2x−23+3x=−3x+7+3x

5x−23=7

Add 23 to both sides.

5x−23+23=7+23

5x=30

Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5 = 30/5

x=6

Expanding, we have:
2x-23=7-3x
Adding 3x+23 to both sides, we have:
5x=30

Dividing by 5, therefore, x=6.
