4x + 3 over 5 = 8x - 1 over 9

Answer:
Solution,
[tex] \frac{4x + 3}{5} = \frac{8x - 1}{9} \\ or \: 9(4x + 3) = 5(8x - 1) \\ or \: 36x + 27 = 40x - 5 \\ or \: 36x - 40x = - 5 - 27 \\ or \: - 4x = - 32 \\ or \: x = \frac{ - 32}{ - 4} \\ x = 8[/tex]
hope this helps...
Good luck on your assignment..
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
(4x+3)/ 5 = (8x-1)/9
We can use cross products to solve
(4x+3) * 9 = 5(8x-1)
Distribute
36x+27 = 40x -5
Subtract 36x
27 = 40x-36x -5
27 = 4x-5
Add 5 to each side
32 = 4x
Divide by 4
32/4 = 4x/4
8=x
x=8
