Solve the following equation: 9x / (7 - 6x) = 15

Solution:

An equation is a mathematical statement with an 'equal to' symbol between two algebraic expressions that have equal values.

9x / (7 - 6x) = 15

On multiplying both sides by 7 - 6x, we obtain

9x = 15(7 - 6x)

⇒ 9x = 105 - 90x

⇒ 9x + 90x = 105

⇒ 99x = 105

Hence,

x = 105/99 = 35/33
