Question

solve the following equation and verify your answer

Answer 1

to solve this easily, let 2/5 =a and 1/3 =b

then

(ax+3)/(bx-1)=3/5

cross multiplication

5ax+15=3bx-3

put the values of a and b

{(5*2*x)/5}+15={(3*1*x)/3} -3

2x/5+15=3x/3-3

18=3x/3-2x/5

18=(15x-6x)/15

270=9x

270/9=x

30=x

verification,

2x/5 +3 ={(2*30)/5}+3=12+3=15

{1x/3}-1={30/3}-1=10-1=9

then

{2x/5+3}/{1x/3}=15/9=5/3

hence, verified
