Question

8x-3 / 2x+5 = 5/7
solve the equation
​

Answer 1

$\frac{8x - 3}{2x + 5} = \frac{5}{7} \\ \\ cross \: multiplication \\ \\ 7(8x - 3) = 5(2x + 5) \\ \\ 56x - 21 = 10x + 25 \\ \\ 56x - 10x = 25 + 21 \\ \\ 35x = 46 \\ \\ x = \frac{46}{35}$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

=>7(8x-3) = 5(2x+5)

=>56x-21 = 10x+25

=>56x-10x=25+21

=>46x = 46

=>x = 46/46

=>x = 1
