Question

Solve the following equation: $\frac{8x-3}{3x}=2$

• A. $x=\frac{5}{2}$
• B. $x=\frac{5}{6}$
• C. $x=\frac{9}{8}$
• D. $x=\frac{3}{2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $x=\frac{3}{2}$

Given, $\frac{8x-3}{3x}=2$

Multiply $3x$ on both the sides, we get
$8x-3=6x$
$8x-6x=3$
$2x=3$
$\therefore x=\frac{3}{2}$
