Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex](x + 2) = x - 4
Multiply through by 5 to clear the fraction
3(x + 2) = 5x - 20 ← distribute left side
3x + 6 = 5x - 20 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
- 2x + 6 = - 20 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
- 2x = - 26 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x = 13
