1. Problem Description

We are given the equation 2(3x4)=5(2x7)2(3x - 4) = -5(2x - 7) and asked to solve for xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, distribute the 22 on the left side and the 5-5 on the right side:
2(3x)2(4)=5(2x)5(7)2(3x) - 2(4) = -5(2x) - 5(-7)
6x8=10x+356x - 8 = -10x + 35
Next, add 10x10x to both sides of the equation:
6x8+10x=10x+35+10x6x - 8 + 10x = -10x + 35 + 10x
16x8=3516x - 8 = 35
Then, add 88 to both sides of the equation:
16x8+8=35+816x - 8 + 8 = 35 + 8
16x=4316x = 43
Finally, divide both sides by 1616:
16x16=4316\frac{16x}{16} = \frac{43}{16}
x=4316x = \frac{43}{16}

3. Final Answer

x=4316x = \frac{43}{16}
