10\left(3x+2\right)=2x-3
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{2}{3} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3x+2.
30x+20=2x-3
Use the distributive property to multiply 10 by 3x+2.
30x+20-2x=-3
Subtract 2x from both sides.
28x+20=-3
Combine 30x and -2x to get 28x.
28x=-3-20
Subtract 20 from both sides.
28x=-23
Subtract 20 from -3 to get -23.
x=\frac{-23}{28}
Divide both sides by 28.
x=-\frac{23}{28}
Fraction \frac{-23}{28} can be rewritten as -\frac{23}{28} by extracting the negative sign.
