Question

Find the value of x for the given equation 2x+1/3x+5=11/20​

Answer 1

Answer:

x= -267/140

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + x/3 + 5 = 11/20

6x/3 + x/3 = 11/20 - 5

7x/3 = (11-100)/20

7x/3= -89/20

x = -89/20 * 3/7

x = - 267/140

Answer 2

$\frac{2x + 1}{3x + 5} = \frac{11}{20}$

$20(2x + 1) = 11(3x + 5)$

$40x + 20 = 33x + 55$

$40x - 33x = 55 - 20$

$7x = 35$

$x = \frac{35}{7}$

$x = 5$
