(3x-2)/(x-5)=2
mulltiply both sides by (x-5)
(3x-2)/(x-5)] (x-5)= 2(x-5)
3x-2=2x-10
subtract 2x from both sides
(3x-2)-2x=(2x-10)-2x
x-2=-10
x=NEGATIVE 8
(3)(-8)-2\ ((-8-5)=2
(-24-2)\(-13)=2
-26\-13=2
then to check your work you plug -8 in where x is.

Multiply both sides by (x-5) to get:
3x - 2 = 2 (x - 5)
3x - 2 = 2x - 10
x -2 = - 10
x = -8.

3x-2 = 2 (x-5)
3x-2 = 2x-10
x = -8
Hope this helps!

3x-2=2x-10
3x-2x=-10+2
x=-8...
Therefore, x = -8...
