Question 65

Solve the following:

$\frac{2 x - 1}{5} = \frac{3 x + 1}{3}$

Open in App

Solution

Given $\frac{2 x - 1}{5} = \frac{3 x + 1}{3} \Rightarrow 3 (2 x - 1) = 5 (3 x + 1) \Rightarrow 6 x - 3 = 15 x + 5 \Rightarrow 6 x - 15 x = 3 + 5 \Rightarrow - 9 x = 8 \Rightarrow \frac{- 9 x}{- 9} = \frac{8}{- 9} ∴ x = \frac{- 8}{9}$
