5\left(x-4\right)+2x+7=2\left(3x-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 2,10,5.
5x-20+2x+7=2\left(3x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x-4.
7x-20+7=2\left(3x-1\right)
Combine 5x and 2x to get 7x.
7x-13=2\left(3x-1\right)
Add -20 and 7 to get -13.
7x-13=6x-2
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 3x-1.
7x-13-6x=-2
Subtract 6x from both sides.
x-13=-2
Combine 7x and -6x to get x.
x=-2+13
Add 13 to both sides.
x=11
Add -2 and 13 to get 11.
