Question

5-2x x-4 ------ = ------ 3 2

Answer 1

10-4x=3x-12
-7x=-22
x=22/7

Answer 2

To solve the equation (5 - 2x) / (x - 4) = 3 / 2, we can start by cross-multiplying to eliminate the fractions:

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

Now, let's simplify the equation:

10 - 4x = 3x - 12

Next, we can collect like terms by moving all the terms involving x to one side of the equation:

-4x - 3x = -12 - 10

-7x = -22

To isolate x, we can divide both sides of the equation by -7:

x = (-22) / (-7)

Simplifying further:

x = 22/7

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 22/7.
