Question

help me plzz

solve for x

5/(2x+3)=4/x

Answer 1

\[\frac{5}{2x+3}=\frac{4}{x}\]
\[5x=4(2x+3)\]

Answer 2

5/(2x+3)=4/x
5x = 4(2x+3) [Cross Multiply]
Expand and solve for x

Answer 3

exactly....cross multiply because this is a proportion

Answer 4

idk what it is that is why i asket it

Answer 5

5/2x + 3 = 4/x
cross multiply
(5)(x) = 4(2x + 3) -- distribute through the parenthesis
5x = 8x + 12 -- subtract 8x from both sides
5x - 8x = 8x - 8x + 12 -- combine like terms
-3x = 12 -- divide both sides by -3
x = -4

check..
5(x) = 4(2x + 3)
5(-4) = 4(2(-4) + 3)
-20 = 4(-8 + 3)
-20 = 4(-5)
-20 = -20 (correct)

x = -4
