Question
Solve the following:
`(5x + 1)/(2x) = - 1/3`
Solution
Given, `(5x + 1)/(2x) = - 1/3`
⇒ 3(5x + 1) = – 2x ...[By cross-multiplication]
⇒ 15x + 3 = – 2x
⇒ 15x + 2x = – 3 ...[Transposing – 2x to LHS and 3 to RHS]
⇒ 17x = – 3
⇒ `(17x)/17 = (-3)/17` ...[Dividing both sides by 17]
∴ `x = (-3)/17`
