Answer:
b) 5(x - 12) = 3x
Explanation:
Given expression,
→ 5/x = 3/(x - 12)
Now we have to,
→ Find the equivalent expression.
Let's find the required answer,
→ 5/x = 3/(x - 12)
Cross multiplying both sides:
→ 5(x - 12) = 3(x)
→ 5(x - 12) = 3x
Applying Distributive property:
→ 5(x) - 5(12) = 3x
→ 5x - 60 = 3x
Solving for the value of x:
→ 5x - 3x = 60
→ 2x = 60
→ x = 60/2
→ [ x = 30 ]
Hence, the value of x is 30.
