B Correct answer
Explanation

(x-3)/5 - 2 = 2x/5. Multiply by 5: x - 3 - 10 = 2x. x - 13 = 2x. x = -13.

AI explanation

Multiply the entire equation by 5 to eliminate the denominator, resulting in x - 3 - 10 = 2x. Combine the constant terms on the left side to get x - 13 = 2x. Subtracting x from both sides gives -13 = x, meaning x = -13.
