10 x + 20 2 = 3 ( 2 x 5 ) \dfrac {10x+20}2 = 3(2x-5)

10 ( x + 2 ) 2 = 6 x 15 \Rightarrow \dfrac{10(x+2)}{2} = 6x-15

5 ( x + 2 ) = 6 x 15 \Rightarrow 5(x+2)= 6x-15

5 x + 10 = 6 x 15 \Rightarrow 5x+ 10= 6x-15

5 x = 6 x 15 10 \Rightarrow 5x = 6x - 15 - 10

5 x 6 x = 25 \Rightarrow 5x - 6x = -25

x = 25 \Rightarrow x = 25

Hence x = 25 x= \boxed{25}

The solution is your own solution...

10x + 20 = 2 × (2x-5) × 3

10x + 20 = 6(2x-5)

10x + 20 = 12x - 30

2x = 50

x = 25

Note : After you have obtained the answer, substituted back into equation, you will get 135 = 135 , balance...
