(7 + x)/5 - (2x - y)/4 - 3y = -5

Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
When I try to simplify it, I end up with:
6x + 55y = 128
34x + 15y = 129
I'm not sure where to go with this, I think I should have gone a different route instead of just trying to simplify the equations.Does anyone know where I might have gone wrong?
By the way, in the answers of the book it says that X is 3 and Y is 2, however I must find them by solving the problem, but I am stuck.Any help would be appreciated.
