2\left(x+\frac{7}{15}\right)=3\left(x-\frac{7}{15}\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,2.
2x+2\times \frac{7}{15}=3\left(x-\frac{7}{15}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+\frac{7}{15}.
2x+\frac{2\times 7}{15}=3\left(x-\frac{7}{15}\right)
Express 2\times \frac{7}{15} as a single fraction.
2x+\frac{14}{15}=3\left(x-\frac{7}{15}\right)
Multiply 2 and 7 to get 14.
2x+\frac{14}{15}=3x+3\left(-\frac{7}{15}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-\frac{7}{15}.
2x+\frac{14}{15}=3x+\frac{3\left(-7\right)}{15}
Express 3\left(-\frac{7}{15}\right) as a single fraction.
2x+\frac{14}{15}=3x+\frac{-21}{15}
Multiply 3 and -7 to get -21.
2x+\frac{14}{15}=3x-\frac{7}{5}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-21}{15} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
2x+\frac{14}{15}-3x=-\frac{7}{5}
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-x+\frac{14}{15}=-\frac{7}{5}
Combine 2x and -3x to get -x.
-x=-\frac{7}{5}-\frac{14}{15}
Subtract \frac{14}{15} from both sides.
-x=-\frac{21}{15}-\frac{14}{15}
Least common multiple of 5 and 15 is 15. Convert -\frac{7}{5} and \frac{14}{15} to fractions with denominator 15.
-x=\frac{-21-14}{15}
Since -\frac{21}{15} and \frac{14}{15} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
-x=\frac{-35}{15}
Subtract 14 from -21 to get -35.
-x=-\frac{7}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-35}{15} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.
x=\frac{7}{3}
Multiply both sides by -1.
