The final answer is x = -19/6. The first step is to reduce the expression to 2/3 * 3(5-3x)= 29. This will make the equation much easier. The next step is to simplify by cancelling out the 3 in 2/3 with the 3 multiplying 5-3x so it leaves you with 2(5-3x)=29. Then you would remove the parenthesis by using the distributive property and simplifying 2(5-3x) to 10-6x= 29. Then subtract 10 from both sides, which leaves you with -6x = 19. Divide by -6 on both sides and you get x= -19/6. Hope this helps
