Question

x/2 - 1/5 =x/3 +1/4 ..Solve the equation and check your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=2.7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{x}{3}+\frac{1}{4}$

To find:-

The value of $x$

Solution:-

$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{x}{3}+\frac{1}{4}$ (∵ Given)

$\frac{5x-2}{10}=\frac{4x+3}{12}$

$12(5x-2)=10(4x+3)$

$60x-24=40x+30$

$60x-40x=30+24$

$20x=54$

$x=\frac{54}{20}$

$x=\frac{27}{10}$

$x=2.7$

∴ The value of $x$ is 2.7.
