I tried doing thing but everytime I did it it went wrong
I need immediately and please answer with steps

Answer 1

✺ x = -135

Explanation:

Given:

`(2x)/(3) + 5 = (11x)/(15) + 14`

Multiply both sides of the equation by the common denominator :

`(2x * 15)/(3) + 5 * 15 = (11x * 15)/(15) + 14 * 15`

After doing maximum cancellations,

`= > 10x + 5 * 15 = 11x + 14 * 15`

`= > 10x + 75 = 11x + 210`

`= > 10x - 11x = 210 - 75`

`= > - x = 135`

`= > x = - 135`

Hence, value of x is -135
