Question

solve for x
(7x + 14)/3 - (17 - 3 x)/5 = 6x - (4x+2)/3 - 5

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

B

4

Given,

5

17−3x

−

3

4x+2

=5−6x+

3

7x+14

Multiplying both sides by 15. (i.e.) L.C.M of 5 and 3,

3(17−3x)−5(4x+2)=15(5−6x)+5(7x+14)

⇒51−9x−20x−10=75−90x+35x+70

⇒41−29x=145−55x

⇒−29x+55x=145−41

⇒26x=104

⇒x=

26

104

⇒x=4

Hence, the solution is x=4.
