what is value of x 5(- 3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13?

5(- 3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-5(3x + 2) = -4(4x + 5) + 13 + (x - 3)
4(4x + 5) = 5(3x + 2) + 13 + (x - 3)
5(3x + 2) - 4(4x + 5) + 13 + (x - 3) = 0
x can have any value.

5(- 3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
True
x can be any value.

5(- 3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
-15x - 10 - x + 3 = -16x - 20 + 13
-16x - 7 = -16x - 7
x is all real numbers

5(- 3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13
- 15x - 10 - x + 3 = - 16x - 20 + 13
- 16x - 7 = - 16x- 7
- 16x + 16x = - 7 + 7

 0 = 0 <------True..

Expand both sides

-15x - 10 + 3 - x = -16x - 20 + 13
 
The x cancels out.

-7 = - 7

True
