2/3(x-7)=3/4(4x-5)
cross-multiply \(\bf \cfrac{2}{{\color{brown}{ 3(x-7)}}}=\cfrac{3}{{\color{brown}{ 4(4x-5)}}}\implies {\color{brown}{ 3(x-7)}}\cdot 2=3\cdot {\color{brown}{ 4(4x-5)}}\) and solve for "x"
hmm I got it a bit backwads there.. .lemme fix it quick
\(\bf \cfrac{2}{{\color{brown}{ 3(x-7)}}}=\cfrac{3}{{\color{brown}{ 4(4x-5)}}}\implies 2\cdot {\color{brown}{ 4(4x-5)}}={\color{brown}{ 3(x-7)}}\cdot 3\)
The answer is 3(x-7)x3?
hmm not quite.. you need to distribute and solve for "x"
well, i got x = -43/29
hmmm
\(\bf \cfrac{2}{{\color{brown}{ 3(x-7)}}}=\cfrac{3}{{\color{brown}{ 4(4x-5)}}}\implies 2\cdot {\color{brown}{ 4(4x-5)}}={\color{brown}{ 3(x-7)}}\cdot 3 \\ \quad \\ 2\cdot (16x-20)=(3x-21)\cdot 3\implies 32x-40=9x-63 \\ \quad \\ 32x-9x=-63+40\implies 23x=-23\implies x=\cfrac{-\cancel{ 23 }}{\cancel{ 23 }}\)
The solution is all real numbers?
Or no solution?
