Question

If $\frac{x}{3}+1=\frac{7}{15}$, then $x=-\frac{m}{5}$. So, the value of $m$ is

• A. $8$
• B. $6$
• C. $3$
• D. $9$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $8$

Given, $\frac{x}{3}+1=\frac{7}{15}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{3}=\frac{7}{15}-1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{3}=-\frac{8}{15}$

Multiply $3$ on both the sides,

$\Rightarrow x=-\frac{8}{5}$

Comparing this with $x=-\frac{m}{5}$

Thus, we get $m=8$.
