Cross-Multiply Fractions: Cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions.5x+3=92x+3Cross-multiplying gives us:9(x+3)=5(2x+3)
Distribute Numbers: Distribute the numbers on both sides.9×x+9×3=5×2x+5×39x+27=10x+15
Move Terms: Move the terms involving x to one side and constant terms to the other side.Subtract 9x from both sides:9x+27−9x=10x+15−9xThis simplifies to:27=x+15
Isolate x: Isolate x by subtracting 15 from both sides.27−15=x+15−15This simplifies to:12=x
