Question 686493
{{{2x+5-3(2x-7)=2(3x-5)-4}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{2x+5-6x+21=6x-10-4}}} Distribute.



{{{-4x+26=6x-10-4}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-4x+26=6x-14}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-4x=6x-14-26}}} Subtract {{{26}}} from both sides.



{{{-4x-6x=-14-26}}} Subtract {{{6x}}} from both sides.



{{{-10x=-14-26}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-10x=-40}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-40)/(-10)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-10}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=4}}} Reduce.
