HELP DUE IN 10 MINS!

Solve for x.

4x + 2 / x - 9 = 3/5

Answer 1

`(4x+2)/(x-9)` =
`(3)/(5)`

5( 4x+ 2 ) = 3 ( x-9 )

20x + 10 = 3x - 27

20x -3x = -27 -10

17x = -37

x = - 37/17

Answer 2

`\\ \sf\longmapsto (4x+2)/(x-9)=(3)/(5)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 5(4x+2)=3(x-9)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 20x+10=3x-27`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 20x-3x=-27-10`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 17x=-37`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto x=(-37)/(17)`
