Question

Solve equation and check the answer.
$\frac{x + 2}{3} = \frac{3x - 2}{5}$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

{x + 2} / {3} = {3x - 2} / {5}

cross multiplying:

5x + 10 = 9x - 6

4x = 16

x = 4

checking the answer:

{4 + 2} / {3} = {3(4) - 2} / {5}

6 /3 = 10 / 5

2 = 2

true.
