Question
Solve: $5x - 2 (2x - 7) = 2(3x - 1) + \frac {7}{2}$

Answer

$5x - 2 (2x - 7) = 2(3x - 1) + \frac {7}{2}$
$5x – 4x + 14 = 6 x-2+\frac{7}{2}$
$x + 14 = 6x + \frac{3}{2}$
$6 x-x = 14 -\frac{3}{2}$
$5x = \frac{25}{2}$
$x=\frac{25}{2} \times \frac{1}{5}=\frac{5}{2}$
Therefore, the required solution is $x = \frac{5}{2}.$
