Solve for x: 4 (3x - 5) = 7 (2x + 3).

X = - 41/2

12x-20=14x+21

12x-20+20=14x+21+20

12x=14x+41

12x-14x=14x+41-14x

-2x=41

-2x/-2=41/-2

x=-41/2

Distribute the four and seven to get

12x-20=14x+21

Then subtract the 12x and both side and get

-20=2x+21

The subtract 21 on both sides to get

-41=2x

Then divide both sides by 2 and get

X=-41/2

And as a decimal it is - 20.5
