Answer :
The value of x in 3x + 2/3 = 2x + 1 is — ⅓.
Explaination :
3x + 2/3 = 2x + 1
Cross multiplying them :
➠ 3x + 2/3 = 2x + 1/1
➠ 3x + 2 = 3 (2x + 1)
➠ 3x + 2 = 6x + 3
Now, solving for x :
➠ 3x + 2 = 6x + 3
➠ 3x — 6x = 3 — 2
➠ — 3x = 1
➠ x = — ⅓
Verification :
Substituting x = — ⅓ in the simplest form of the equation and checking :
➠ 3x + 2 = 6x + 3
➠ 3 (— ⅓) + 2 = 6 (— ⅓) + 3
➠ — 1 + 2 = — 2 + 3
➠ 1 = 1
➠ LHS = RHS
➠ Hence, verified!
Therefore, the value of x in 3x + 2/3 = 2x + 1 is — ⅓.
