Question

Solution of the equation
3x/5+1=4x/15+7

Answer 1

x = 18

Explanation:

Given

`(3x)/(5)` + 1 =
`(4x)/(15)` + 7 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

`(3x)/(5)` =
`(4x)/(15)` + 6

Multiply through by 15 to clear the fractions

9x = 4x + 90 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

5x = 90 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 18
