Question

Solve the following for x-: 5x+1 by 2x = -1 by 3

Answer 1

Hi there!

$\frac{5x + 1}{2x} = \frac{ - 1}{3} \\ \\ 3(5x + 1) = - 2x \\ \\ 15x + 3 = - 2x \\ \\ 15x + 2x = - 3 \\ \\ 17x = - 3 \\ \\ x = \frac{ - 3}{17}$

You can put this value in that equation,it will satify.

5x+1/2x = 5(-3/17)+1/2(-3/17)3

-15+17 by 17/-6/17

= -1/3 = R.H.S

Thankyou :)
