Question

X+8 /x = 7/ 5 solve the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

x+8/x=7/5

x^2+8x/x=7/5

5x^2+40x=7x

5^2+40x-7x=0

5x^2+33x=0

Answer 2

Question:

Solve for x :

(x+8)/x = 7/5

Answer:

x = 20

Solution:

We have ;

(x + 8)/x = 7/5

Now,

By cross multiplication, we get ;

=> 5(x + 8) = 7x

=> 5x + 40 = 7x

=> 7x = 5x + 40

=> 7x - 5x = 40

=> 2x = 40

=> x = 40/2

=> x = 20

Hence,

The required value of x is 20 .
