Question

120-x/x = 3/5
pls pls pls newer this with process right now!!!!!!!
pls​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{120 - x}{x} = \frac{3}{5} \\ \\ = 5(120 - x) = 3x \\ \\ = 600 - 5x = 3x \\ \\ = 600 = 3x + 5x \\ \\ = 8x = 600 \\ \\ x = \frac{600}{8} \\ \\ = x = 75$

Answer 2

Answer:

by cross multiplication

5(120-x)=3x

600-5x=3x

600=3x+5x

600=8x

600÷8=x

75=x

hence,x=75
