The solution

You have entered [src]
x - 4*(5*x + 2) = 3*(7*x - 2)
$$x - 4 \left(5 x + 2\right) = 3 \left(7 x - 2\right)$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
x-4*(5*x+2) = 3*(7*x-2)

Expand brackets in the left part
x-4*5*x-4*2 = 3*(7*x-2)

Expand brackets in the right part
x-4*5*x-4*2 = 3*7*x-3*2

Looking for similar summands in the left part:
-8 - 19*x = 3*7*x-3*2

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$- 19 x = 21 x + 2$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-40\right) x = 2$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -40
x = 2 / (-40)

We get the answer: x = -1/20
