-2\left(2x-3,5\right)=5
Variable x cannot be equal to 3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2\left(x-3\right), the least common multiple of 3-x;2x-6.
-4x+7=5
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 2x-3,5.
-4x=5-7
Subtract 7 from both sides.
-4x=-2
Subtract 7 from 5 to get -2.
x=\frac{-2}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=\frac{1}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-2}{-4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
