Question

$x - 5 \div 3 = x - 3 \div 5$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 5)/3 = (x - 3)/5

5*(x - 5) = 3*(x - 3)

5x - 25 = 3x - 9

5x - 3x = -9 + 25

2x = 16

x = 16/2 = 8

Answer 2

$\red {\huge {\underline{ \frak{Your \: answEr : }}}}$

$\large \implies \huge{\bold{ \frac{(x - 5)}{3} = \frac{( x - 3)}{5} }}$

$\blacksquare$ By Cross Multiplication

$\large \implies \bold{5(x - 5) = 3(x - 3)}$

$\large \implies \bold{5x - 25 = 3x - 9}$

$\large \implies \bold{5x - 3x = 25 - 9}$

$\large \implies \bold{2x = 16}$

$\blue{\large \implies \bold{x = 8}}$
