7\left(8x+4\right)=5\left(6x-7\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to \frac{4}{3} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 35\left(3x-4\right), the least common multiple of 15x-20,21x-28.
56x+28=5\left(6x-7\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by 8x+4.
56x+28=30x-35
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 6x-7.
56x+28-30x=-35
Subtract 30x from both sides.
26x+28=-35
Combine 56x and -30x to get 26x.
26x=-35-28
Subtract 28 from both sides.
26x=-63
Subtract 28 from -35 to get -63.
x=\frac{-63}{26}
Divide both sides by 26.
x=-\frac{63}{26}
Fraction \frac{-63}{26} can be rewritten as -\frac{63}{26} by extracting the negative sign.
