`x=-155/6`

Explanation:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step 1: Write equation

`(x)/(5) -7=(2x+3)/(4)`

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Convert 7 to fraction:
   `(x)/(5) -(35)/(5) =(2x+3)/(4)`
2. Combine fractions:
   `(x-35)/(5)=(2x+3)/(4)`
3. Cross multiply:
   `4(x-35)=5(2x+3)`
4. Distribute:
   `4x-140=10x+15`
5. Subtract 4x on both sides:
   `-140=6x+15`
6. Subtract 15 on both sides:
   `-155=6x`
7. Divide both sides by 6:
   `-155/6 = x`
8. Rewrite:
   `x=-155/6`
