Question

Solve for x: (2x-1)/3 = (x+4)/-2

Answer 1

`x=-(10)/(7)`

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

`(2x-1)/(3) =(x+4)/(-2)`

Cross Multiply:

`-2(2x-1)=3(x+4)\\\\-4x+2=3x+12`

Subtract 3x from both sides:

`-7x+2=12`

Subtract 2 from both sides:

`-7x=10`

Divide both sides by -7:

`x=-(10)/(7)`
