Question

If the ratio between (x+3) and (2x-3) is 5:7 . Find x

Answer 1

Answer:

THE ANSWER IS 12

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2X-3)=7(X+3)

10X-15=7X+21

10X-7X=21+15

3X=36

X=36/3

X=12

Answer 2

Given: The ratio between$(x+3) \ and \ (2x-3) \ is \ 5:7$.

We have to find the value of$x$.

• As we know that a proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.
• By using the above concept, we are finding the value of$x$.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The ratio between$(x+3) \ and \ (2x-3) \ is \ 5:7$.

That is;

$=>\frac{x+3}{2x-3} =\frac{5}{7}$

$=>7(x+3)=5(2x-3)\\=>7x+21=10x-15$

Solving like terms:

$=>7x-10x=-15-21\\=>-3x=-36\\\\=>x=\frac{-36}{-3} \\\\=>x=12$

Hence, the value of$x$ will be$12$.
