1. **Problem:** Solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 5(3x - 2) + 7 = 4(2x + 5) - 3 \).

\[ 15x - 3 = 8x + 17 \]
Move all terms involving \( x \) to one side:
\[ 15x - 8x = 17 + 3 \]
Simplify:
\[ 7x = 20 \]
Finally, solve for \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{20}{7} \]

2. **Problem:** Solve the system of equations:


\[
\begin{cases}
2x + 3y = 8 \\
4x - y = 5
\end{cases}
\]

**Solution:**
Start by solving the second equation for \( y \):
\[ y = 4x - 5 \]
Substitute this value into the first equation:
\[ 2x + 3(4x - 5) = 8 \]
Expand and simplify:
\[ 2x + 12x - 15 = 8 \]
Combine like terms:
\[ 14x = 23 \]
Solve for \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{23}{14} \]
Then, substitute \( x \) back into one of the original equations to find \( y \).

3. **Problem:** Find the value of \( n \) in the equation \( \frac{n + 3}{2} + \frac{2n


- 5}{3} = 6 \).

**Solution:**
Begin by clearing the denominators:
\[ 3(n + 3) + 2(2n - 5) = 36 \]
Expand and simplify:
\[ 3n + 9 + 4n - 10 = 36 \]
Combine like terms:
\[ 7n - 1 = 36 \]
Add 1 to both sides:
\[ 7n = 37 \]
Solve for \( n \):
\[ n = \frac{37}{7} \]
