Answer:

x =
(33)/(20)

Explanation:


(4x)/(3) =
(11)/(5) cross multiply and solve

20x = 33 divide both sides by 20

Answer:

THE ANSWER IS x= 33/20

hope it help

with the steps:

1) Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators

2) Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator

3) Multiply the numbers

1) 4x//3==11/5 then 15 ✖️ 4x/3= 15 ✖️ 11/5

2) 5 ✖️ 4= 3 ✖️ 11

3) 5 ✖️ 4x=3 ✖️ 11

20x=3 ✖️ 11

solution : x= 33/20
