ok so you have 

$$\frac{x + 3}{2} = \frac{3x -5}{10}$$

if you cross multiply you have 

$$10(x + 3) = 2(3x - 5)$$

you need to distribute both sides

$$10x + 30 = 6x - 10$$

now solve for x

yes i did all of that but the answer doesnt match 10, -10,2 nor -2 which are the multiple choice answers so which one is it

campbell_st · Answer

your arithmetic is incorrect as the answer is in your choices 

start by subtracting 6x from both sides, what do you get...?
