Question

(x-7)/4=(2x+3)/2
solve the following and find x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -13 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

( x - 7 ) / 4 = ( 2x + 3 ) / 2

=> x - 7 = 2 ( 2x + 3 )               [ multiplied both sides by 4 ]

=> x - 7 = 4x + 6                      [ expand the RHS ]

=> -3x = 13                              [ take 4x and add 7 to both sides ]

=> x = -13 / 3                           [ divide both sides by -3 ]

Answer 2

(X-7)/4=(2x+3)/2

(X-7)*2 = (2x+3)*4

2x-14 = 8x+12

-14-12 = 8x-2x

-(14+12) = x(8-2)

-(26) = 6x

-26/6 = x

-13/3 = x
