|2*x - 5|   |3*x + 4|
|-------| = |-------|
|   3   |   |   2   |
$$\left|{\frac{2 x - 5}{3}}\right| = \left|{\frac{3 x + 4}{2}}\right|$$
Detail solution
For every modulo expressions in the equation
allow cases, when this expressions ">=0" or "<0",
solve the resulting equation.

1.
$$\frac{2 x}{3} - \frac{5}{3} \geq 0$$
$$\frac{3 x}{2} + 2 \geq 0$$
or
$$\frac{5}{2} \leq x \wedge x < \infty$$
we get the equation
$$\left(\frac{2 x}{3} - \frac{5}{3}\right) - \left(\frac{3 x}{2} + 2\right) = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$- \frac{5 x}{6} - \frac{11}{3} = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{1} = - \frac{22}{5}$$
but x1 not in the inequality interval

2.
$$\frac{2 x}{3} - \frac{5}{3} \geq 0$$
$$\frac{3 x}{2} + 2 < 0$$
The inequality system has no solutions, see the next condition

3.
$$\frac{2 x}{3} - \frac{5}{3} < 0$$
$$\frac{3 x}{2} + 2 \geq 0$$
or
$$- \frac{4}{3} \leq x \wedge x < \frac{5}{2}$$
we get the equation
$$\left(\frac{5}{3} - \frac{2 x}{3}\right) - \left(\frac{3 x}{2} + 2\right) = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$- \frac{13 x}{6} - \frac{1}{3} = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{2} = - \frac{2}{13}$$

4.
$$\frac{2 x}{3} - \frac{5}{3} < 0$$
$$\frac{3 x}{2} + 2 < 0$$
or
$$-\infty < x \wedge x < - \frac{4}{3}$$
we get the equation
$$\left(\frac{5}{3} - \frac{2 x}{3}\right) - \left(- \frac{3 x}{2} - 2\right) = 0$$
after simplifying we get
$$\frac{5 x}{6} + \frac{11}{3} = 0$$
the solution in this interval:
$$x_{3} = - \frac{22}{5}$$


The final answer:
$$x_{1} = - \frac{2}{13}$$
$$x_{2} = - \frac{22}{5}$$
