%28x-5%29%2F3-3%2F2=%284x%2B7%29%2F6 Multiply each term by 6 to remove the fractional parts
6%28x-5%29%2F3-6%2A3%2F2=6%2A%284x%2B7%29%2F6
2%28x-5%29-3%2A3=4x%2B7
2x-10-9=4x%2B7
2x-19=4x%2B7 Subtract 7 from each side
2x-19-7=4x%2B7-7
2x-26=4x Subtract 2x from each side
2x-26-2x=4x-2x
-26=2x Divide each side by 2
-26%2F2=2x%2F2
-13=x
ie x = -13
