x/3 =(x-2)/5

\frac{x}{3} = \frac{x - 2}{5}

x = - 3

Solution steps

\frac{x}{3} = \frac{x - 2}{5}

Apply fraction cross multiply: if

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

then

a \cdot d = b \cdot c

x \cdot 5 = 3 (x - 2)

Expand

3 (x - 2) : 3 x - 6

x \cdot 5 = 3 x - 6

Move

3 x

to the left side

2 x = - 6

Divide both sides by

2

x = - 3

3.5 y + 2 = 19

x, (3 x + y - z) \cdot p + (x + y - z) \cdot q = 2 (x - y)

0.0025 = (\frac{2}{5})^{a} x 1 0^{b}

lo g_{10} (0.4) (8 + 2 x) = 1

- 1 = \frac{6 + x}{2}
