Question

5-2x/3=4x-1/-5

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{5-2x}{3}=\dfrac{4x-1}{-5}\)

\(\Leftrightarrow-5\left(5-2x\right)=3\left(4x-1\right)\)

\(\Leftrightarrow-25+10x=12x-3\)

\(\Leftrightarrow2x=-22\)

\(\Leftrightarrow x=-11\)

Answer 2

\(\dfrac{5-2x}{3}=\dfrac{4x-1}{-5}\)

=>\(3\left(4x-1\right)=-5\left(5-2x\right)\)

=>\(12x-3=-25+10x\)

=>2x=-22

=>\(x=-11\)
