Question

5x+2/2x+3 = 12/7
please solve this equation

Answer 1

$\frac{5x+2}{2x+3}$ = $\frac{12}7$
7(5x+2) = 12(2x+3)
35x+14 = 24x+36
35x - 24x = 36-14
11x = 22
x = $\frac{22}{11}$
x = 2

Answer 2

We can solve this problem by cross multiplication .
Then given eq. is
5x+2/2x+3 =12/7
7(5x+2) = 12(2x+3)
35x + 14 = 24x + 36
11x = 22
X = 22/11 = 2
