Answer 1

x= 13 /14

Explanation:

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

5x−5

x−2

=

1

3

Step 1: Cross-multiply.

5x−5

x−2

=

1

3

(5x−5)*(3)=1*(x−2)

15x−15=x−2

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

15x−15−x=x−2−x

14x−15=−2

Step 3: Add 15 to both sides.

14x−15+15=−2+15

14x=13

Step 4: Divide both sides by 14.

14x

14

=
