Question

Solve for x
10/x = 14/2x-3

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

Pre-Solving

We are given the following equation:

`(10)/(x) = (14)/(2x-3)`

We want to solve it for x.

To do that, we can cross-multiply to create equal expressions on both sides.

Solving

Cross-multiply.

10(2x-3)=14x

On the left side, distribute 10 to both 2x and -3.

We get:

20x - 30 = 14x

Subtract 20x from both sides.

-30 = -6x

Divide both sides by -6.

5 = x
