Question

Solve for x.

4 - 3x
---------- = 5
2

Answer 1

Given fractional expression:

{(4-3x)/2} = 5

→ 4-3x = (5)2

→ 4-3x = 10

→ -3x = 10-4

→ -3x = 6

Therefore, x = -(6/3) = -2

Answer 2

x=-2

Explanation:

We are given an equation as

`(4-3x)/(2) =5`

and asked to solve for x

Simplify by multiplying both sides by 2. This will get rid of fraction on left side.

4-3x = 10

Grouping like terms by taking 4 to right side

we get right side 10-4 = 6

-3x = 6

To get exact value of x, we divide by -3 on both the sides

x = 6/-3 = -2

Since this is an equation, we get a single value for x

x=-2

and answer is -2
