Question

Solve for X:2x-1/x+3=5

Answer 1

Answer:

2x-1=5x+15

-3x=16

x= -16/3

Answer 2

$Given \: simple \: equation : \frac{2x-1}{x+3}=5$

$\implies 2x - 1 = 5( x + 3 )$

$\implies 2x - 1 = 5x + 15$

/* Subtract bothsides by 2x , we get */

$\implies 2x - 1 - 2x = 5x + 15 - 2x$

$\implies - 1 = 3x + 15$

/* Subtract bothsides by 15, we get */

$\implies - 1 - 15 = 3x + 15 - 15$

$\implies -16 = 3x$

$\implies x = \frac{-16}{3}$

Therefore.,

$\red{ Value \: of \: x } \green { = \frac{-16}{3}}$
