To solve the equation $\frac{2x}{5} - \frac{x}{3} = 5$, first find a common denominator, which is 15. Convert the fractions: $\frac{6x}{15} - \frac{5x}{15} = 5$. Simplify to $\frac{x}{15} = 5$. Multiply both sides by 15 to solve for x: $x = 75$.

Solve the Equation 2x5−x3=5\frac { 2 x } { 5 } - \frac { x } { 3 } = 552x​−3x​=5
