{{{2x-3=5x+4}}} Start with the given equation




{{{2x=5x+4+3}}}Add 3 to both sides



{{{2x-5x=4+3}}} Subtract 5x from both sides



{{{-3x=4+3}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{-3x=7}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(7)/(-3)}}} Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x




{{{x=-7/3}}} Reduce


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=-7/3}}}  (which is approximately {{{x=-2.333}}} in decimal form)
