PLEASE HELPP!!! And show the work/explain please. Picture is above :)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -24/7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, you need to multiply both sides by 10 ( the GCF of 5 and 2) to get rid of the fractions. Once multiplied, you get this:

2(4x-2) + 5(1) = 5(3x+7) - 10(1)

Now, just distribute the parenthesis:

8x - 4 + 5 = 15x + 35 - 10

Now, combine like terms:

8x + 1 = 15x + 25

15x + 25 = 8x + 1 (rearranged the equation)

Subtract the x's:

7x + 25 = 1

Now solve:

7x = -24

x = -24/7
