Question

$\frac{2x - 1}{x + 1} = \frac{5}{4}$
​

Answer 1

(2x-1)/(x+1)=5/4

4(2x-1)=5(x+1)

8x-4=5x+5

8x-5x=5+4

3x=9

x=9/3

x=3

Answer 2

Answer:

$Hey\: mate ,your \:answer:$

$\frac{2x-1}{x+1}$=$\frac{5}{4}$

(by cross multiplication method)

4(2x -1) = 5(x +1)

(4×2x)-(4×1) = 5x + 5

8x - 4 = 5x + 5

(transposing -4 to right hand side and 5x to left hand side)

8x - 5x = 5 + 4

3x =9

x =$\frac{9}{3}$

x = 3
