Solve the equation:\(\frac{4x + 8}{5x + 8} = \frac{5}{6}\) |
|
Answer» \(\frac{4x + 8}{5x + 8} = \frac{5}{6}\) ⇒ 6(4x + 8) = 5(5x + 8) By cross multiplication ⇒ 24x + 48 = 25x + 40 ⇒ 24x – 25x = 40 – 48 On transposing 48 and 25x ⇒ – x = – 8 ⇒ -x/-1 = -8/-1 On dividing by – 1 on both sides ⇒ x = 8 |
