Question

How do you solve $\frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{4}{5}$?

Answer 1

Solve for $x$

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

Cross multiply the given terms

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \left(x-2\right)\times 5=4\times 3 \\ \Rightarrow 5x-10=12 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{22}{5} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the value of $x$ is $\frac{22}{5}$
