4\left(x+7\right)+3\left(3x-7\right)=72
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 3,4.
4x+28+3\left(3x-7\right)=72
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x+7.
4x+28+9x-21=72
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 3x-7.
13x+28-21=72
Combine 4x and 9x to get 13x.
13x+7=72
Subtract 21 from 28 to get 7.
13x=72-7
Subtract 7 from both sides.
13x=65
Subtract 7 from 72 to get 65.
x=\frac{65}{13}
Divide both sides by 13.
x=5
Divide 65 by 13 to get 5.
