The given linear equation is as follows,
5x+ 7 2 = 3 2 x14 .
We first multiply each side of the given equation by 2 and simplify it.
2 5x+ 7 2 =2 3 2 x14 2 5x +2 7 2 =2 3 2 x +2(14) 10x+7=3x28
Subtracting 7 on both sides, we get,
10x+77=3x287 10x=3x35
Subtracting 3x on both sides, we get,
10x3x=3x353x 7x=35
Dividing by 7 on both sides, we get,
7x 7 = 35 7 x=5
So, the value of the variable x is -5.
Hence, the correct option is (2).
