Question

(2x + 3) - (5x - 7)/
6x +11 is equal to -8/3.find x​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

(2x + 3) - (5x - 7)/

6x +11 = -8/3

By cross multiplication method , we get

3 { ( 2x + 3 ) - ( 5x - 7 ) } = -8 ( 6x + 11 )

3(2x + 3) - 3(5x - 7)= -8 ( 6x+11)

6x + 9 - 15x + 21 = -48x - 88

-15x + 6x + 21 + 9= -48x -88

-9x + 30 = -48x - 88

-9x + 48x = -88 - 30

39x = -118

x = 3.02
