To solve the given equation:
2/3(x + 5) = 1/4(5x - 3)
We can simplify both sides of the equation by getting rid of the fractions. To do this, we can multiply both sides by the least common multiple of the denominators, which is 12:
12 * 2/3(x + 5) = 12 * 1/4(5x - 3)
8(x + 5) = 3(5x - 3)
Now, we can distribute the terms on both sides:
8x + 40 = 15x - 9
We can then isolate the variable on one side by subtracting 8x from both sides:
40 = 7x - 9
Finally, we can isolate the variable x by adding 9 to both sides and then dividing by 7:
49/7 = x
Simplifying, we get:
x = 7
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 7.
