Question

Solve linear equation 4+2x over 6x=12 over 5x +2 over 15​

Answer 1

x = 52/6

Explanation:

The equation is given as;

`(4 + 2x)/(6x) = (12)/(5x) + (2)/(15)`

Multiply all through by 30x. This gives;

5(4+2x) = 6(12) + 2x(2)

Expanding the expression;

20 + 10x = 72 + 4x

Taking like terms;

10x - 4x = 72 - 20

6x = 52

x = 52/6
