Answer

$x=-26$

Work Step by Step

We need to distribute $3$ on the left side and $4$ on the right side of the equation to obtain: $3(x-2)=4(x+5)\\ 3x-6=4x+20$ Now, subtract $20$ from each side to get: $3x-6-20=4x+20-20\\ 3x-26=4x$ On subtracting $3x$ from each side, we get: $3x-26-3x=4x-3x\\ x=-26$
