a)\(5\left(2x-1\right)-4\left(8-3x\right)=7\)
\(\Leftrightarrow10x-5+12x-32=7\)
\(\Leftrightarrow22x-37=7\)
\(\Leftrightarrow22x=44\Rightarrow x=2\)
b)\(5x\left(x-5\right)-x\left(2x+3\right)=26\)
\(\Leftrightarrow5x^2-25x-2x^2-3x=26\)
\(\Leftrightarrow3x^2-28x-26=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow3\left(x-\dfrac{14}{3}\right)^2-\dfrac{274}{3}=0\)
\(\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{14}{3}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{274}}{3}\)
