1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the equation 2(3x4)=5(2x7)2(3x - 4) = -5(2x - 7) for xx.

2. Solution Steps

First, distribute the constants on both sides of the equation:
2(3x4)=6x82(3x - 4) = 6x - 8
5(2x7)=10x+35-5(2x - 7) = -10x + 35
So, the equation becomes:
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 8 to both sides of the equation:
16x8+8=35+816x - 8 + 8 = 35 + 8
16x=4316x = 43
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 16:
16x16=4316\frac{16x}{16} = \frac{43}{16}
x=4316x = \frac{43}{16}

3. Final Answer

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