2\left(2n-1\right)-5\left(n+3\right)=2\left(3n-5\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 5,2.
4n-2-5\left(n+3\right)=2\left(3n-5\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2n-1.
4n-2-5n-15=2\left(3n-5\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by n+3.
-n-2-15=2\left(3n-5\right)
Combine 4n and -5n to get -n.
-n-17=2\left(3n-5\right)
Subtract 15 from -2 to get -17.
-n-17=6n-10
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 3n-5.
-n-17-6n=-10
Subtract 6n from both sides.
-7n-17=-10
Combine -n and -6n to get -7n.
-7n=-10+17
Add 17 to both sides.
-7n=7
Add -10 and 17 to get 7.
n=\frac{7}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
n=-1
Divide 7 by -7 to get -1.
