\frac{18 - 5 x}{2 x + 2} = \frac{7}{3}

x = \frac{40}{29}

Decimal Notation

x = 1.37931 \dots

Solution steps

\frac{18 - 5 x}{2 x + 2} = \frac{7}{3}

Cross multiply

54 - 15 x = 14 x + 14

Move

54

to the right side

- 15 x = 14 x - 40

Move

14 x

to the left side

- 29 x = - 40

Divide both sides by

- 29

x = \frac{40}{29}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = \frac{40}{29}

\frac{3}{n + 1} = \frac{4}{n + 4}

1 - \frac{3}{x} = 9

2 x - \frac{2000}{x ^{2}} = 0

3 (x + 2)^{- 1} - \frac{4}{x} = 0

\frac{2 x - 1}{2 x + 2} = \frac{7}{10}
