Question:
[(5(1 – x)) + (3(1 + x))/ (1 – 2x)] = 8
Solution:
We have,
[(5(1 – x)) + (3(1 + x))/ (1 – 2x)] = 8
By cross multiplication, we get
(5(1 – x)) + (3(1 + x)) = 8 × (1 – 2x)
5 – 5x + 3 + 3x = 8 – 16 x
8 – 2x = 8 – 16x
Transposing 8 to RHS it becomes – 8 and -16x to LHS it becomes 16x.
16x – 2x = 8 – 8
14x = 0
x = 0/14
x = 0
