Answer:

x=7

Explanation:

expand -2(2x-3): -4x+6

expand 4-(3x-5): -3x-1

it's now -4x+6=-3x-1

subtract 6 from both sides

-4x+6-6=-3x-1-6

simplify

-4x=-3x-7

add 3x to both sides

-4x+3x=-3x-7+3x

simplify

-x=-7

divide both sides by -1


(-x)/(-1)=\
(-7)/(-1)

simplify

x=7

sorry for the lengthy explanation hope this helps :) have a nice day !!
