1. Problem Description

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

2. Solution Steps

First, distribute the constants on both sides of the equation:
2(3x4)=5(2x7)2(3x - 4) = -5(2x - 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
Add 8 to both sides of the equation:
16x8+8=35+816x - 8 + 8 = 35 + 8
16x=4316x = 43
Divide both sides by 16 to solve for xx:
x=4316x = \frac{43}{16}

3. Final Answer

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