Given x+3/7-2x-5/3=3x-5/5-25
put all like terms together --
x - 2x + 3/7 - 5/3 = 3x - 5/5 -25
as there are fractions we would make it's denominators same to solve the equation
3/7 - 5/3 = LCM of denominators = 21
so ,
3/7 * 3/3 = 9/21 AND 5/3 * 7/7 = 35/21
so we get our equation like this --
-x + 9/21 - 35/21 = 3x - 5/5 -25
-x + -26/21 = 3x - 5/5 - 25
Now bringing like terms together that is --
-x - 3x = - 5/5 - 26/21 - 25
NOTE : -5/5 = -1
-x - 3x = - 1 - 26/21 - 25
-4x = -25 - 1 - 26/21
4x = -26 - 26/21
lowest form of - 26/21 = -2/3
4x = -26 - 2/3
solving the fraction --
-26/1 - 2/3
LCM = 3
-26/1 * 3/3 = -78/3
-78/3 - 2/3
-80/3
= 4x = -80/3
= x = -80/3 + 4
= x = -80/3 + 12/3
= x = -68/3
