Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • a = 2x +3
  • b = 4x - 7

Finding x for which 3b = 5a:

  • 3b = 5a
  • 3(4x - 7) = 5(2x + 3)
  • 12x - 21 = 10x + 15
  • 12x - 10x = 15 + 21
  • 2x = 36
  • x = 36/2
  • x = 18

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 4x-7 for b and 2x+3 for a in 3b = 5a

3(4x-7) = 5(2x +3)

Solve for x:

12x-21 = 10x+15

2x = 36

x=18
