Question 711615
Solution:
{{{2x/3 = (5-x)/4}}} : First, cross multiply
{{{2x * 4 = (5-x) * 3}}} : Then distribute
{{{8x = 15 -3x}}} : Transpose -3x on the other side to simplify all x
{{{8x +3x = 15}}} : Simplify
{{{11x = 15}}} : Divide both sides by 11 to leave x alone
{{{11x/11 = 15/11}}}
{{{x = 15/11}}}
Answer: 15/11
