Solve:3 × 5 x...

Question

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

Open in App

Solution

$\frac{3 x}{5 x + 2} = - 4 \Rightarrow \frac{3 x}{5 x + 2} = \frac{- 4}{1} \Rightarrow 1 (3 x) = - 4 (5 x + 2) (by cross multiplication) \Rightarrow 3 x = - 20 x - 8 \Rightarrow 3 x + 20 x = - 8 \Rightarrow 23 x = - 8 \Rightarrow x = \frac{- 8}{23} ∴ x = \frac{- 8}{23}$
