Question

solve the problem. (a)if 2x/3-4=4x/5,then x equals​

Answer 1

Answer:

2x/3-4=4x/5

2x/3-4x/5=4

10x-12x/15=4

-2x/15=4

-2x=60

x=-30

Answer 2

Hola! Brainlian!,

Solution :-

$\sf{ \frac{2x}{3} - 4 = \frac{4x}{5} }$

$\sf{ \implies 5\times 2x-60=3\times 4x }$

$\sf{ \implies 10x-60=3\times 4x }$

$\sf{ \implies 10x-60=12x }$

$\sf{ \implies 10x-60-12x=0 }$

$\sf{ \implies -2x-60=0 }$

$\sf{ \implies -2x=60 }$

$\sf{ \implies x=\frac{60}{-2} }$

$\sf{ \implies x=\boxed{\sf{-30}} }$

$\dashrightarrow \: \bf{Hence, \: the \: value \: of ~~\bold{x} ~~\: will} \\ \bf{be \: \red{- 30}.}$
