Solve : 5(1 - x) + 3(1 + x) / (1 - 2x) = 8.

Solution:

Given, the equation is 5(1 - x) + 3(1 + x) / (1 - 2x) = 8

We have to solve the equation.

On solving the equation for x,

5(1 - x) + 3(1 + x) = 8(1 - 2x)

5 - 5x + 3 + 3x = 8 - 16x

5 + 3 - 5x + 3x = 8 - 16x

8 - 2x = 8 - 16x

By transposing,

-2x + 16x = 8 - 8

14x = 0

x = 0/14

x = 0

Therefore, the value os x is 0.
