Question

solve the following
4x+1/3x-1 = -2​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x=0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Variable x cannot be equal to   $\frac{1}{3}$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3x−1.

                     $4x+1=-2(3x-1)$

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by $3x-1.$

                     $4x+1=-6x+2\\ \\ 4x+1+6x=2\\ \\ 10x+1=2\\ \\ 10x=2-1\\ \\ 10x=1\\ \\ x=0.1$
