Solving the first equation:
2x - 5 = 3(5x + 4)2x - 5 = 15x + 12-13x = 17x = -17/13
Solving the second equation:
2x - 5 = 3(4x + 2)2x - 5 = 12x + 6-10x = 11x = -11/10
So, x = -17/13 or x = -11/10.
Solving the first equation:
2x - 5 = 3(5x + 4)
2x - 5 = 15x + 12
-13x = 17
x = -17/13
Solving the second equation:
2x - 5 = 3(4x + 2)
2x - 5 = 12x + 6
-10x = 11
x = -11/10
So, x = -17/13 or x = -11/10.
