Explanation:

Hey there!

Given;


(5)/(2) x - 7 = (3)/(4) x + 14

Bring "3/4x" on left side and "-7" in right side.


(5)/(2) x - (3)/(4) x = 14 + 7

Simplify it.


(5 * 2x - 3x)/(4) = 21


(10x - 3x)/(4) = 21


7x = 21 * 4

7x = 84

X = 84/7

Therefore, X= 12.

check:

5/2*12-7=3/4*12+14

23=23 {true}

Hope it helps....
