Rearrange and combine related terms to find the solution to the given equation:
3x-22x-5=2x+3-83x-4x+10=2x+6-83x-4x-2x=6-8-10-3x=-12x=123x=4
Step 2. Verification.
Verify the result by substituting x=4 in the given equation:
LHS=3×4-22×4-5=12-28-5=12-2×3=12-6=6
and
RHS=24+3-8=2×7-8=14-8=6
Hence,LHS=RHS
Hence, the solution of 3x-2(2x-5)=2(x+3)-8 is x=4 and it is verified.
