Multiply by 6,
3(x+5) - 24 = 2(2x-1)
3x+15-24 = 4x-2
x = -7

1/2 ( x + 5 ) - 4 = 1/3 ( 2x - 1 )
3 ( x + 5 - 8 ) = 2 ( 2x -1 )
3 x - 9 = 4 x - 2
x = - 7

1/2(x+5)-4=1/3(2x-1)
Multiplying both the sides by 3 and 2
3(x+5)=2(2x-1)
3x+15=4x-2
15+2=4x-3x
x=17

3.(x + 5) - 24 = 2.(2x - 1)
3x + 15 - 24 = 4x - 2
3x - 9 = 4x - 2
- 7 = x
x = - 7

1/2 (x+5)-4=1/3 (2x-1)
(x+5-8)/2=(2x-1)/3
(x-3)/2=(2x-1)/3
3(x-3)=2(2x-1)
3x-9=4x-2
-9+2=4x-3x
x=-7

Do your own homework, lazybones. If you're having trouble, talk to your teacher and get extra help.
