Answer:

x =
(1)/(10)

Step-by-step explanation:


(6x-3)/(2x+7) =
(3x-2)/(x+5) ( cross- multiply )

(3x - 2)(2x + 7) = (6x - 3)(x + 5) ← expand factors on both sides using foil

6x² + 17x - 14 = 6x² + 27x - 15 ( subtract 6x² from both sides )

17x - 14 = 27x - 15 ( subtract 27x from both sides )

- 10x - 14 = - 15 ( add 14 to both sides )

- 10x = - 1 ( divide both sides by - 10 )

x =
(-1)/(-10) =
(1)/(10)

Answer:

x = 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:


\sf \rightarrow (6x-3)/(2x+7) = (3x-2)/(x+5)

cross multiply


\sf \rightarrow (6x-3)(x+5) = (3x-2)(2x+7)

distribute


\sf \rightarrow 6x^2 + 30x - 3x - 15 = 6x^2 + 21x - 4x - 14

simplify


\sf \rightarrow 6x^2 + 27x - 15 = 6x^2 + 17x- 14

collect terms


\sf \rightarrow 6x^2 + 27x - 15 - 6x^2 - 17x + 14=0

simplify


\sf \rightarrow 10x- 1=0

isolate


\sf \rightarrow 10x=1

divide


\sf \rightarrow x=1/10 \qquad or \qquad 0.1
