Answer :

 

The value of x is 2 / 15.

Step-by-step explanation :

3x = 2 / 5

On cross - multiplying both the terms.

3x * 5 = 2

⇒ 15x = 2

⇒ x = 2 / 15.

Hence, the value of x is 2 / 15.

Verification :

Putting the value of x in the given equation :

3x = 2 / 5

⇒ 3 * 2 / 15 = 2 / 5

⇒ 6 / 15 = 2 / 5

⇒ 2 / 5 = 2 / 5

∴ LHS = RHS

Hence, the value of x is 2 / 15 i. e., Option ( B ) is the correct answer.
