Question 241358
Solve for x:
{{{(x+4)/3 = x/5}}} Multipliy both sides by 3 and then by 5.
{{{cross(3)*5*(x+4)/cross(3) = 3*cross(5)*(x)/cross(5)}}} Cancel the common factors as shown and simplify.
{{{5x+20 = 3x}}} Subtract 20 from both sides.
{{{5x = 3x-20}}} Subtract 3x from both sides.
{{{2x = -20}}} Finally, divide both sides by 2.
{{{highlight(x = -10)}}}
