You asked:

Simplify the expression: \(2 x - 3 \left(x - 2\right) = 5\)

MathBot Answer:

Simplified:

\[ 2 x - 3 \left(x - 2\right) = 5 = 6 - x = 5 \]

$$\begin{aligned}2 x - 3 \left(x - 2\right) = 5\\2 x - 3 x - 6 = 5\\2 x - 3 x + 6 = 5\\6 - x = 5\\x = 1\end{aligned}$$

Expanded:

\[ 2 x - 3 \left(x - 2\right) = 5 = 1 - x \]
