Question

2x+1/3x-2=5/9. Solve..

Answer 1

Hi

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

Do the cross multiplication,

We get,

9 ( 2x + 1 ) = 5 ( 3x -2 )

18x + 9 = 15x - 10

18x - 15x = -10 - 9

3x = -19

x = - 19 / 3

I hope this helps you.

:)

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x$\quad =\quad\frac { -19 }{ 3 }$

Given:

$\frac{(2 x + 1)}{(3 x - 2)}=\frac{5}{9}$

To find:

Value of x

Solution:

$\frac{(2 x + 1)}{(3 x - 2)}=\frac{5}{9}$

Cross multiplying,

We get,

$9(2 x + 1)\quad =\quad 5(3 x - 2)$

18x + 9 = 15x - 10

18x - 15x = -10 - 9

$3x\quad =\quad -19$

$x\quad =\quad \frac { -19 }{ 3 }$
