Question

(5x+2)/8=x/6 what value will make it true??

Answer 1

X should equal -6/11 if I read the equation right

Answer 2

-6/11 =x

Explanation:

We can use cross products to solve

(5x+2)/8=x/6

6 ( 5x+2) = 8x

Distribute

30x + 12 = 8x

Subtract 30x from each side

30x -30x +12 = 8x - 30x

12 = -22x

Divide each side by -22

12/-22 = -22x/-22

-6/11 =x
