(1+3x)/x = 5/(-2)

\frac{1 + 3 x}{x} = \frac{5}{- 2}

x = - \frac{2}{11}

Decimal Notation

x = - 0.18181 \dots

Solution steps

\frac{1 + 3 x}{x} = \frac{5}{- 2}

Cross multiply

- 2 - 6 x = x \cdot 5

Move

2

to the right side

- 6 x = x \cdot 5 + 2

Move

x 5

to the left side

- 11 x = 2

Divide both sides by

- 11

x = - \frac{2}{11}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - \frac{2}{11}

\frac{( \frac{2 π}{x} )}{4} = 3

\frac{40}{y} = \frac{8}{5}

\frac{2 ^{2} - 8 x}{1 - x} = 5

x^{- 2} - 6 x^{- 1} + 5 = 0

\frac{x}{x + 1} = \frac{x + 2}{x + 3}
