Question

The solution of the equation 5/2x = 15 is

Answer 1

Answer: x = 1/6

Step-by-step explanation: Simplify the equation until you have only letters on one side and numbers on the other side.

As this is an equation we do this to both sides:

5/2x = 15

times by 2x:  5 = 30x

divide by 30: 1/6 = x

x = 1/6

Answer 2

Answer: x=−5

Step-by-step explanation:Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    5-2*x-(15)=0

Equations which are never true

2.1      Solve :    -2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2      Solve  :    x+5 = 0

Subtract  5  from both sides of the equation :

                     x = -5
