To solve the equation for x, we need to isolate the variable x.
First, let's get rid of the 3y term by subtracting 3y from both sides of the equation:
3y - 2x - 3y = 30 - 3y
-2x = 30 - 3y
Next, we want to isolate x, so we need to get rid of the -2 coefficient. To do this, we divide both sides of the equation by -2:
(-2x)/(-2) = (30 - 3y)/(-2)
x = (30 - 3y)/(-2)
Therefore, the equation solved for x is x = (30 - 3y)/(-2).
