Answer 1

$\bigstar$ Question :

$\longrightarrow$ $\frac{(x+2)}{x-2} = \frac{7}{3}$ ,then x = ____.

$\bigstar$ To Find :

$\longrightarrow$ x = ?

$\bigstar$ Solution :

$\longrightarrow$ $\frac{(x+2)}{(x-2)} = \frac{7}{3}$

$\longrightarrow$ (x+2) × 3 = (x-2) × 7

$\longrightarrow$ 3x + 6 = 7x - 14

$\longrightarrow$ 3x - 7x = -14 - 6

$\longrightarrow$ -4x = -20

$\longrightarrow$ x = $\frac{-20}{-4}$

$\longrightarrow$ x = 5

Let us verify that,

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

$\mapsto$ $\frac{7}{3}$ = $\frac{7}{3}$

Hence,Verified.

$\bigstar$ Answer :

$\mapsto$  ∴ The value of x is 5.
