2\left(2x-5\right)=3\left(x+1\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4\left(x+1\right), the least common multiple of 2x+2,4.
4x-10=3\left(x+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x-5.
4x-10=3x+3
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+1.
4x-10-3x=3
Subtract 3x from both sides.
x-10=3
Combine 4x and -3x to get x.
x=3+10
Add 10 to both sides.
x=13
Add 3 and 10 to get 13.
