Question

solve the following eqation and check your answer 3x+1/5=2-x​

Answer 1

By cross multiplication:

3x + 5x = 10 -1

8x = 9

x = 9/8

Answer 2

$\bold\red{ \underline {\underline {\red{ \star \: {given}}}}}$

$\frac{3x + 1}{5} = 2 - x.$

$\red{ \bold {\underline {\underline {\star \: {solution}}}}}$

$\frac{3x + 1}{5} = 2 - x. \\ \\ 3x + 1 = 5(2 - x) \\ \\ 3x + 1 = 10 - 5x. \\ \\ 8x= 9. \\ \\ x = \frac{9}{8}$
