Question

solve for x. 7x+14/3 - 17-3x/5 = 6x - 4x-2-5/3​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
