Question

Solve for x:
x−2/3 = x−1/4

Answer 1

Hello, Buddy!!

||Required Solution||

$\frac{x - 2}{3} = \frac{x - 1}{4} \\ by \: cross \: multiplication \\ 4(x - 2) = 3(x - 1) \\ 4x - 8 = 3x - 3 \\ 4x - 3x = - 3 + 8 \\ x = 5$

• Value of x ➪ 5

$\boxed{\tt{@MrSovereign}}$

Hope This Helps!!

Answer 2

SOLUTION :-

$\sf{ \frac{x - 2}{3} = \frac{x - 1}{4}}$

Cross multiplying LHS and RHS,

$\sf{→4(x - 2) = 3(x - 1)}$

$\sf{→4x - 8 = 3x - 3}$

Bringing RHS TO LHS,

$\sf{→4x - 8 - (3x - 3)} = 0$

$\sf{→4x - 8 - 3x + 3 = 0}$

$\sf{→x - 5 = 0}$

$\sf \therefore \fbox \green{x = 5}$

Hence the value of $\sf{x = 5}$.
