\left(2x+3\right)\times 7-\left(2x-3\right)\times 5=4
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -\frac{3}{2},\frac{3}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(2x-3\right)\left(2x+3\right), the least common multiple of 2x-3,3+2x,4x^{2}-9.
14x+21-\left(2x-3\right)\times 5=4
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x+3 by 7.
14x+21-\left(10x-15\right)=4
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-3 by 5.
14x+21-10x+15=4
To find the opposite of 10x-15, find the opposite of each term.
4x+21+15=4
Combine 14x and -10x to get 4x.
4x+36=4
Add 21 and 15 to get 36.
4x=4-36
Subtract 36 from both sides.
4x=-32
Subtract 36 from 4 to get -32.
x=\frac{-32}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=-8
Divide -32 by 4 to get -8.
