1. Problem Description
We need to solve the equation for .
2. Solution Steps
To solve the equation, we first eliminate the fractions by multiplying both sides by the least common multiple of 2 and 6, which is
6. $$6\left(\frac{5x}{2} - 7\right) = 6\left(\frac{2x - 7}{6}\right)$$
Now, we isolate the terms by subtracting from both sides.
Next, we isolate the term by adding 42 to both sides.
Finally, we solve for by dividing both sides by
1
3. $$\frac{13x}{13} = \frac{35}{13}$$
3. Final Answer
The solution to the equation is .
