5%2F%282x-3%29+=+7%2F%283x%29 Start with the given equation.


5%283x%29+=+%282x-3%297 Cross multiply


15x+=+14x-21 Distribute and multiply


15x-14x+=+-21 Subtract 14x from both sides.


x+=+-21 Combine like terms.


The solution is x+=+-21 (I recommend you checking this solution though. I'll let you do that part).
