Question

difficulty in solving this please help!!!!!
(5x+7)/(4x-2)=23/5

Answer 1

(5x+7)/(4x-2)=23/5
⇒5×(5x+7) = 23×(4x-2)
⇒25x + 35 = 92x - 46
⇒25x - 92x = -46 - 35
⇒-67x = -81
⇒x= (-81)/(-67)
⇒ x = 81/67

Answer 2

By cross multiply
5(5x+7)=23(4x-2)
By distributive property
25x+35=92x-46
92x-25x=35+46
67x=81
x=81/67
x=1.2089
