x=-23/48x=2348

Explanation:

Multiply both sides of the equation by -3/232
The equation becomes (6/5 x- 7/10) = 17/20 xx -3/2(65x710)=1720×32
6/5x-7/10=-51/4065x710=5140

Add 7/10710 to both sides
6/5x = -51/40 + 7/1065x=5140+710

Find common denominator to add fractions:
6/5x = -51/40 + 28/4065x=5140+2840

6/5x=-23/4065x=2340

Multiply both sides by reciprocal of 6/565
x=-23/40 xx 5/6x=2340×56

x=-23/48x=2348
