How do you solve #4/5=(3x+2)/(4x-3)#?

Answer 1

Eva Adamson

#color(blue)(x= 22#

#4/5=(3x+2)/(4x-3)#

#4*(4x-3) = 5* (3x+2)#

#4*(4x) + 4 * (-3) = 5* (3x)+5 * (2)#

#16x -12 = 15x +10#

#16x - 15x= 10+12#

#color(blue)(x= 22#

To solve the equation 4/5 = (3x+2)/(4x-3), you can cross-multiply. Multiply 4x-3 with 4/5 and multiply 3x+2 with 5/1. This will give you the equation 5(4x-3) = 4(3x+2). Simplify both sides of the equation 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.
