Given equation is {(3x+1)/5} = {(2x-2)/6}

On applying cross multiplication then

⇛6(3x+1) = 5(2x-2)

Multiply the numbers outside the bracket with numbers in bracket.

⇛18x + 6 = 10x - 10

Shift the variable value on LHS and the constant value on RHS.

⇛18x - 10x = -6-10

Subtract the values on LHS and RHS.

⇛8x = -16

Shift the value 8 from LHS to RHS.

⇛x = -16÷8 = -16/8

⇛x = -2

Therefore, x = -2

Answer: Hence, the value of x for the given problem is -2

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Answer:

cross multiplication


6(3x + 1) = 5(2x - 2) \\ 18x + 6 = 10x - 10 \\ 18x - 10x = - 10 - 6 \\ 8x = - 16 \\ x = ( - 16)/(8) \\ x = - 2

hope it helps you<3
