(x-1)/5 =(x-1)/2

\frac{x - 1}{5} = \frac{x - 1}{2}

x = 1

Solution steps

\frac{x - 1}{5} = \frac{x - 1}{2}

Apply fraction cross multiply: if

\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}

then

a \cdot d = b \cdot c

(x - 1) \cdot 2 = 5 (x - 1)

Expand

(x - 1) \cdot 2 : 2 x - 2

Expand

5 (x - 1) : 5 x - 5

2 x - 2 = 5 x - 5

Move

2

to the right side

2 x = 5 x - 3

Move

5 x

to the left side

- 3 x = - 3

Divide both sides by

- 3

x = 1

(3 x + 1) (x + 2) = 0

n^{2} + 3 n

\frac{\frac{1}{3}}{2}

r^{2} - 36 r = 0

∣ 3 x - 5 ∣ + x = 7
