Required Answer:

To solve:


  • (5x - 8)/(3) = (11x - 9)/(5)

Step-by-Step Explanation:

First of all, Cross Multiplying:


5(5x - 8) = 3(11x - 9)

Now expanding the parentheses,


25x - 40 = 33x - 27

Shifting 33x to the Left hand side of the equation.


25x - 33x = - 27 + 40

This is Equal to:


- 8x = 13

And dividing -8 both sides,


x = ( - 13)/(8)
