Question

If 3x + 8/3 = x/4 + 5 then value of x is

Answer 1

Answer:

3x+8/3=x/4+5

3x-x/4=5-8/3

(12x-x)/4=(15-8)/3

11x/4=7/3

x=7/3×4

x=7/3×4/11

x=28/33

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 28/ 33

or

x = 0.8484

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 8/3 = x/4 +5

Taking L.C.M.

(9x + 8 )/3 = ( x+20 ) / 4

(9x + 8)×4 = (x+20) ×3

36x + 32 = 3x + 60

36x -3x + 32 -60 = 0

33x - 28 =0

33x = 28

x = 28\ 33

x = 0.8484..
