x + 3   2*x - 7
----- = -------
  4        5   
$$\frac{x + 3}{4} = \frac{2 x - 7}{5}$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
(x+3)/4 = (2*x-7)/5

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

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

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$\frac{x}{4} = \frac{2 x}{5} - \frac{43}{20}$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\frac{\left(-3\right) x}{20} = - \frac{43}{20}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -3/20
x = -43/20 / (-3/20)

We get the answer: x = 43/3
