Question

find x and m : 3x-2/4-(x-3)/5 = -1​

Answer 1

For finding x, we should simplify :

$\: \: \: \: \: \frac{3x - 2}{4} - \frac{x - 3}{5} = \: - 1$

$= > \: \frac{5(3x - 2) - 4(x - 3)}{20} = - 1$

$= > \frac{15x - 10 - 4x + 12}{20} = \: - 1$

$= > 11x + 2 = - 20$

$= > 11x = - 22$

$= > x = - 2$

$Hence, \: we \: can \: write \: this \: as$

$x+2=0$

$So, m ( slope ) = 0$
