Answer

$\dfrac{30-x}{6(x-7)}$

Work Step by Step

The factored form of the given equation, $ \dfrac{5}{x-7}-\dfrac{2x}{3x-21}+\dfrac{x}{2x-14} ,$ is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{5}{x-7}-\dfrac{2x}{3(x-7)}+\dfrac{x}{2(x-7)} .\end{array} Using the $LCD= 6(x-7) ,$ then the given equation simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{6(5)-2(2x)+3(x)}{6(x-7)} \\\\ \dfrac{30-4x+3x}{6(x-7)} \\\\ \dfrac{30-x}{6(x-7)} .\end{array}
