Question

1.Solve the following equation. One point is given for showing steps and one point given for the correct solution.

Answer 1

rewrite the equation

\[\frac{x}{x+3} = -\frac{2}{5}\]

multiply each term by 5(x+3)

then

5x = -2(x + 3)

expand

5x = -2x - 6

add 2x to both sides

7x = -6

divide by 7

x = -6/7
