The possible values of x are 5 and -1/12

<h3>Complete question</h3>

Given that 2x − 1∶ x − 4 = 16x + 1 ∶ 2x − 1 find the possible values of x

<h3>How to determine the possible values of x?</h3>

The ratio is given as:

2x − 1∶ x − 4 = 16x + 1 ∶ 2x − 1

Express as fraction

\frac{2x - 1}{x-4} = \frac{16x + 1}{2x -1}

Cross multiply

4x^2 -4x + 1 = 16x^2 + x  -64x - 4

Collect like terms

-16x^2 + 4x^2 + 64x - x - 4x + 1 + 4 = 0

Evaluate the like terms

-12x^2 + 59x + 5 = 0

Divide through by -1

12x^2 - 59x - 5 = 0

Expand

12x^2  + x - 60x - 5 = 0

Factorize

x(12x + 1) - 5(12x + 1) = 0

Factor out 12x + 1

(x - 5)(12x + 1) = 0

Expand

x  - 5 = 0 or 12x + 1 = 0

Solve for x

x = 5 or x = -1/12

Hence, the possible values of x are 5 and -1/12
