Question

solve for x. 3x-7/5-x+1/6=2x+2/12-1

Answer 1

by taking L.C.M,

{ 6(3x-7)+ 5(-x+1)} / 30 = (2x+2) -12 /12

[18x - 42 -5x +5} / 30 =2x -10/ 12

13x - 37/ 5 = 2x - 10 / 4

by cross multiplication,

4(13x - 37) = 5 (2x-10)

52x - 148 = 10x - 50

42x = 98

x = 98/42

∴ x = 7/3

Answer 2

$\huge\bf\mathscr\pink{Your\: Answer}$

No values of x exists.

step-by-step explanation:

Given,

3x-7/5 - x +1/6 = 2x + 2/12 - 1

=> 2x +1/6-7/5 = 2x + 1/6 -1

subtracting 2x both from L.H.S and R.H.S,

we get,

=> 1/6 - 7/5 = 1/6 -1

Again subtracting 1/6 both from L.H.S and R.H.S,

we get,

=> -7/5 = -1

but it is contradictory,

so, the given equation is invalid.

Hence, no values of x exists.
