Question

What value of x makes this equation true? 10x - 6 = 3 = 3/x+ 1 /

Answer 1

Answer:

15/14

Explanation:

Given the below equation;

$\begin{gathered} 10x-6=3(x+\frac{1}{2}) \\ \end{gathered}$

The 1st step to solving the above is to open the parenthesis;

$10x-6=3x+\frac{3}{2}$

The 2nd step is to add subtract 3x and add 6 to both sides of the equation and solve for x;

$\begin{gathered} 10x-3x=6+\frac{3}{2} \\ 7x=\frac{15}{2} \\ 14x=15 \\ x=\frac{15}{14} \end{gathered}$
