Question

find x if x+ 2/3= 3x-2/5​

Answer 1

$x + \frac{2}{3 } = 3x - \frac{2}{5 } \\ \frac{3x + 2}{3} = \frac{15x - 2}{5}$

By cross multiplication,

$5(3x + 2) = 3(15x - 2) \\ 15x + 10 = 45x - 6 \\ 15x - 45x = - 6 - 10 \\ - 30x = - 16 \\ x = \frac{ - 30}{ - 16} = \frac{15}{8} \\ x = \frac{15}{8}$

Hope this will be helpful.

Answer 2

Answer:

x= 8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2/3= 3x-2/5

== 2/3+2/5=2x
