x + 3   2*x - 1
----- = -------
  7        5   
$$\frac{x + 3}{7} = \frac{2 x - 1}{5}$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
(x+3)/7 = (2*x-1)/5

Expand brackets in the left part
x/7+3/7 = (2*x-1)/5

Expand brackets in the right part
x/7+3/7 = 2*x/5-1/5

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$\frac{x}{7} = \frac{2 x}{5} - \frac{22}{35}$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\frac{\left(-9\right) x}{35} = - \frac{22}{35}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -9/35
x = -22/35 / (-9/35)

We get the answer: x = 22/9
