Solve for x:
(2 x)/5+7 = x/4-7/2
Put each term in (2 x)/5+7 over the common denominator 5: (2 x)/5+7 = (2 x)/5+35/5:
(2 x)/5+35/5 = x/4-7/2
(2 x)/5+35/5 = (2 x+35)/5:
(2 x+35)/5 = x/4-7/2
Put each term in x/4-7/2 over the common denominator 4: x/4-7/2 = x/4-(14)/4:
(2 x+35)/5 = x/4-(14)/4
x/4-(14)/4 = (x-14)/4:
(2 x+35)/5 = (x-14)/4
Multiply both sides by 20:
(20 (2 x+35))/5 = (20 (x-14))/4
20/5 = (5×4)/5 = 4:
4 (2 x+35) = (20 (x-14))/4
20/4 = (4×5)/4 = 5:
Answer: | 4 (2 x+35) = 5 (x-14) x=-70
