Solve : (2x - 3)/(4x + 5) = 1/3.

Solution:

Given, the equation is (2x - 3)/(4x + 5) = 1/3

We have to solve the equation.

On solving the equation for x,

2x - 3 = 1(4x + 5)/3

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

6x - 9 = 4x + 5

By transposing,

6x - 4x = 5 + 9

2x = 14

x = 14/2

x = 7

Therefore, the value of x is 7.

✦ Try This: Solve : (x - 4)/(2x + 7) = 2/3
