Question

4. Solve the following: -5/2 (x-4) – 3 (x+3) = 0​

Answer 1

Answer:

  x=2/11

Step-by-step explanation:

-5/2 (x-4) – 3 (x+3) = 0​

(-5/2)x-[(5/2)*-4]-3x-9=0

(-5/2)x+10-3x-9=0..............................................................-[(5/2)*-4]=+10

(-5/2)-3x+10-9=0

(-5/2)-3x+1=0

<<cross multiply>>

(-5x-6x+2)/2=0

-5x-6x+2=0

-5x-6x=-2

<<multiply by -1>>

5x+6x=2

11x=2

x=2/11
