Question

Using cross multiplication what is the solution to 3/(6x-1)=2/(5x+1)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{(6x-1)} = \frac{2}{(5x+1)}$

start by multiplying the 2 to the (6x-1). you get 12x and -2.

then multiply the 3 and the 5x+1. you get 15x and 3.

now set them equal to each other. 12x - 2= 15x + 3

now subtract 12x from both sides. -2 = 3x + 3

now subtract three from both sides. -5 = 3x

now divide both sides by 3. x = -5/3.

that is how you get the answer.

have a great day!
