How do you solve #(3x-11)/36=-5/18#?

Answer 1

# x = 1/3 #

# (3x - 11 )/36 = -5/18 #

( cross-multiply )

# 18(3x - 11 ) = (- 5 ) xx 36#

#rArr 54x - 198 = -180 #

(Note: the negative (-) on the right hand side of the equation must be attached to one or other of 5 or 18 but not both.)

now 54x = -180 + 198 = 18

# rArr x = 18/54 = 1/3 #

To solve the equation (3x - 11) / 36 = -5 / 18, you can cross multiply and then solve for x. Multiply both sides of the equation by 36 to eliminate the denominator on the left side, and then multiply both sides by 18 to cancel out the fraction on the right side. This results in the equation 2(3x - 11) = -5(36). Simplify both sides and solve for x.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
