Question

how to do this sum solve equation and verify answer

Answer 1

cross multiple first and then solve it

Answer 2

Answer: -0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5x-4/2.4x+6=-5/3

By cross multiplying:

3(0.5x-4)= -5(2.4x+6)

1.5x-12= -12x-30

1.5x= -12x-30+12

1.5x= -12x-18

1.5x+12x= -18

13.5x = -18

x= -18/13.5

x= -0.75
