Question

solve
$\frac{5x - 7}{x + 1} = 2$
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bf\frac{5x - 7}{x + 1} = 2$

We have, $\sf \frac{5x - 7}{x + 1} = \frac{2}{1}$

By cross multiplication, we get

$\bf \: 5x - 7 = 2(x + 1) \\ \bf → \: \: 5x \: - 7 = 2x + 2$

Transposing variables on L.H.S and constant terms on R.H.S, we get

$\bf \: 5x - 2x = 2 + 7 \\ \bf \: →3x = 9 \\ \bf→x = 3$

➪ x = 3 is the required solution.
