Question

if 3/×+3 = 5/×+2 then × =​

Answer 1

Answer: (b) -9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the butterfly to solve this equation easily. Multiply the numerator of one fraction with the denominator of the other and set the new terms to be equal to each other.

3*(x+2) = 5(x+3)

We can then multiply out both sides to get:

3x+6 = 5x+15

Then we move all the x's to one side:

2x = -9

We divide both sides by two to get:

x = -9/2
