How do you solve \frac { 2x + 3} { 8} = \frac { 3x - 4} { 7}? Algebra Linear Equations Equations with Variables on Both Sides 1 Answer Bill Jorgensen May 20, 2018 x=53/10 Explanation: \frac { 2x + 3} { 8} = \frac { 3x - 4} { 7} cross multiply: 7( 2x + 3) = 8( 3x - 4) distribute: 14x + 21 = 24x - 32 53=10x x=53/10 Answer link Related questions How do you check solutions to equations with variables on both sides?
