Question

$\frac{(2x + 3) - (5x - 7)}{6x + 11} = \frac{ - 8}{3}$
​

Answer 1

$\frac{(2x + 3) - (5x - 7)}{6x + 11} = \frac{ - 8}{3}$

$\frac{2x + 3- 5x + 7}{6x + 11} = \frac{ - 8}{3}$

$\frac{ - 3x + 10}{6x + 11} = \frac{ - 8}{3}$

$3( - 3x + 10) = - 8(6x + 11)$

$- 9x + 30= - 48x - 88$

$- 9x + 48x = - 88 - 30$

$39x = -118$

$x = \frac{ - 118}{39}$
