\frac{4x+24-6x}{15x+39}=\frac{14}{114}
Divide both sides by 114.
\frac{4x+24-6x}{15x+39}=\frac{7}{57}
Reduce the fraction \frac{14}{114} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
19\left(4x+24-6x\right)=7\left(5x+13\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{13}{5} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 57\left(5x+13\right), the least common multiple of 15x+39,57.
19\left(-2x+24\right)=7\left(5x+13\right)
Combine 4x and -6x to get -2x.
-38x+456=7\left(5x+13\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 19 by -2x+24.
-38x+456=35x+91
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by 5x+13.
-38x+456-35x=91
Subtract 35x from both sides.
-73x+456=91
Combine -38x and -35x to get -73x.
-73x=91-456
Subtract 456 from both sides.
-73x=-365
Subtract 456 from 91 to get -365.
x=\frac{-365}{-73}
Divide both sides by -73.
x=5
Divide -365 by -73 to get 5.
