Question

Pls help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

• x = 3

Explanation:

`(12)/(x) = (4)/(2x - 5) \\`

By cross multiplication ,

`12(2x - 5) = 4(x) \\ \\ 24x - 60 = 4x \\ \\ 24x - 4x = 60 \\ \\ 20x = 60 \\ \\ x = (60)/(20) \\ \\ x = 3 \\`

Therefore, the required value of x is 3.

Verification:

`(12)/(x) = (4)/(2x - 5) \\ \\ (12)/(3) = (4)/(2(3) - 5) \\ \\ 4 = (4)/(6 - 5) \\ \\ 4 = 4 \\ \\`

(LHS = RHS)

Hence verified.
