Question

What is the value of x , if (2x+1)/(x-1) = 5/4 * 1 point A) 9/4 B) 4/9 C) -3 D) 9​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

By using cross multiplication,

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

$8x + 4 = 5x - 5$

$8x - 5x = - 5 - 4$

$3x = - 9$

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

$x = - 3$

The value of x is -3.
