Question

How do you solve `(3x-5)/2=4x`?

Answer 1

#x=-1

Explanation:

Given
`color(white)("XXX")(3x-5)/2=4x`

Multiply both sides by `2` to get rid of the fraction
`color(white)("XXX")3x-5=8x`

Subtract `3x` from both sides
`color(white)("XXX")-5=5x`

Divide both sides by `5`
`color(white)("XXX")-1=xcolor(white)("XX")"or (equivalently)"color(white)("XX")x=-1`
