Answer:
x = -12 not 12 as in previous response
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x-2)/4 + 5 = (x+3)/2 put terms on left and constants on right
(3x-2)/4 - (x+3)/2 = -5
multiply all terms by 4
(3x-2) - 2(x+3) = -20 now simplify by distributing -2 in second term
3x - 2 - 2x - 6 = -20 combine like terms
x -8 = -20 now add 8 to both sides
x = -12
