The solution

You have entered [src]
2*x - 2*(x + 7) = 3*(2 - x)
$$2 x - 2 \left(x + 7\right) = 3 \left(2 - x\right)$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
2*x-2*(x+7) = 3*(2-x)

Expand brackets in the left part
2*x-2*x-2*7 = 3*(2-x)

Expand brackets in the right part
2*x-2*x-2*7 = 3*2-3*x

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-14 = 3*2-3*x

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = 20 - 3 x$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$3 x = 20$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 3
x = 20 / (3)

We get the answer: x = 20/3
