Find the value of $x$:$\frac{7}{2} x-\frac{5}{2} x=\frac{20 x}{3}+10$.


Given: Expression: $\frac{7}{2} x-\frac{5}{2} x=\frac{20 x}{3}+10$.

To do: To find the value of $x$.

Solution:

$\frac{7}{2} x-\frac{5}{2} x=\frac{20 x}{3}+10$

$\Rightarrow \frac{7}{2} x-\frac{5}{2} x-\frac{20 x}{3}+10$

$\Rightarrow \frac{7x-5x-20x}{2}=10$

$\Rightarrow \frac{7x-25x}{2}=10$

$\Rightarrow \frac{-18x}{2}=10$

$\Rightarrow -18x==10\times 2$

$\Rightarrow -18x=20$

$\Rightarrow x=-\frac{20}{18}$

$\Rightarrow x=-\frac{10}{9}$
