Question

X/13 - 1 = 5x/2 + 1/2
please answer the question pls pls pls pls ​

Answer 1

x = -13/21. i used algebra to solve this. it’s too long to type out unless you want an explanation

Answer 2

`\huge\underline{\red{A}\blue{n}\pink{s}\purple{w}\orange{e}\green{r} -}`

the given expression can be solved as follows ~

`(x)/(13) - 1 = (5x)/(2) + (1)/(2) \\`

taking LCM both the sides ,

`(x - 13)/(13) = (5x + 1)/(2) \\`

on cross multiplying ,

`(x - 13)2 = (5x + 1)13 \\ \\ \implies \: 2x - 26 = 65x + 13`

let's now gather the like terms at either sides of the equation ~

`65x - 2x = - 26 - 13 \\ \\ \implies \: 63x = - 39 \\ \\ \implies \: x = \frac{\cancel{ - 39}}{\cancel{63}}`

on simplifying the equation ,

`\implies (-13)/(21)\\`
