Question

Q.12 Solve for X:
$\frac{2x - 1}{5x} = - \frac{1}{6}$
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-1/5x = 1/6

cross multiplying*

6(2x-1) = 1(5x)

12x-6 = 5x

Transposing rhs to lhs and lhs to rhs

12x-5x = 6

7x = 6

x = 6/7

Answer 2

${\texttt{\huge{\green{SOLUTION :-}}}}$

GIVEN

$\frac{2x - 1}{5x} = - \frac{1}{6}$

THEN,

$12x - 6 = - 5x$

on taking the x - terms one side and the constants on the other side...

$12x + 5x = 6$

$17x = 6$

$x = \frac{6}{17}$
