Question

2x/3 + 5 = 11x/15 + 14

Answer 1

✺ x = -135

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\frac{2x}{3} + 5 = \frac{11x}{15} + 14$

Multiply both sides of the equation by the common denominator :

$\frac{2x \times 15}{3} + 5 \times 15 = \frac{11x \times 15}{15} + 14 \times 15$

After doing maximum cancellations,

$= > 10x + 5 \times 15 = 11x + 14 \times 15$

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

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

$= > - x = 135$

$= > x = - 135$

Hence, value of x is -135
