Answer:

[tex]x=-\frac{10}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

[tex]\frac{2x-1}{3} =\frac{x+4}{-2}[/tex]

Cross Multiply:

[tex]-2(2x-1)=3(x+4)\\\\-4x+2=3x+12[/tex]

Subtract 3x from both sides:

[tex]-7x+2=12[/tex]

Subtract 2 from both sides:

[tex]-7x=10[/tex]

Divide both sides by -7:

[tex]x=-\frac{10}{7}[/tex]
