Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is -

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve $\frac{8 - x}{7} = \frac{3x + 2}{5}$

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

Use cross multiplication method

That is,

5(8 - x) = 3x + 2(7)

40 - 5x = 21x + 14

Add the like terms by bringing them in one side[i.e. L.H.S or R.H.S] along with changing their signs[Using Linear equation's rule]

-5x + (-21x) = 14 - 40

-26x = -26

x = $\frac{-26}{-26}$(Using linear equation's rule)

  = $\frac{26}{26}$(common minus sign cuts)

x = 1[Answer of the question]
