Question

How do I solve this step by step?

Answer 1

x = -5

Explanation:

First, write the full equation:

`(2x - 6)/(8) = (3x - 5)/(10)`

Second, use the cross-multiplication method:

`(2x - 6) * 10 = 8 * (3x - 5)`

20x - 60 = 24x - 40

20x - 24x = -40 + 60

-4x = 20

x = -5

Hope it helps. Thanks!
