2x-\frac{5}{3}=3x-\frac{2}{5}
Multiply \frac{2}{5} and -1 to get -\frac{2}{5}.
2x-\frac{5}{3}-3x=-\frac{2}{5}
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-x-\frac{5}{3}=-\frac{2}{5}
Combine 2x and -3x to get -x.
-x=-\frac{2}{5}+\frac{5}{3}
Add \frac{5}{3} to both sides.
-x=-\frac{6}{15}+\frac{25}{15}
Least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15. Convert -\frac{2}{5} and \frac{5}{3} to fractions with denominator 15.
-x=\frac{-6+25}{15}
Since -\frac{6}{15} and \frac{25}{15} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
-x=\frac{19}{15}
Add -6 and 25 to get 19.
x=-\frac{19}{15}
Multiply both sides by -1.
