Answer:
x=1.69 or x=-0.44
Step-by-step explanation:
1) multiply both sides by 4x-5 to give 3=x(4x-5)
expand this ------>3=4x^2 - 5x
2) bring the 3 on the other side by subtracting 3
4x^2 - 5x - 3 = 0
3)use quadratic formula where a is 4, b is -5 and c is -3
[tex] \frac{ - b + or \: - \sqrt{b {}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{ - ( - 5) + \sqrt{(5) {}^{2} - 4(4)( - 3)} }{2 \times 4} = \: 1.69[/tex]
[tex] \frac{ - ( - 5) - \sqrt{(5) {}^{2} - 4(4)( - 3)} }{2 \times 4} = - 0.44[/tex]
