Answer: No Solution.

Explanation:

So remember that you first need to solve for the parenthesizes, as it is the thing you need to do first in the order of operations: PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract)

So, what you should do first is distribute the 3 into x - 1 as well as the 2 on the right side into 2x + 3.

7x-3(x-1) = 2(2x+3)

7x - 3x - 3 = 4x + 6

Then what you should do next is combine like terms on the left side, which is 7x & -3x.

So what you would get after combining like terms is:

4x - 3 = 4x + 6

Then what you should do next, is move the 4x from the right side to the left. In order to do that, you must subtract 4x by 4x on the right side, which would cancel it out.

And remember, what you do on one side, you do to the other.

So in the end, you should end up with this:

-3 = 6

Now, due to how there is no more x you are solving for, it would be no solution.
