1/(5x+10)=1/(7x−22) equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{1}{5 x + 10} = \frac{1}{7 x - 22}$$
Use proportions rule:
From a1/b1 = a2/b2 should a1*b2 = a2*b1,
In this case
a1 = 1
b1 = 10 + 5*x
a2 = 1
b2 = -22 + 7*x
so we get the equation
$$7 x - 22 = 5 x + 10$$
$$7 x - 22 = 5 x + 10$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$7 x = 5 x + 32$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$2 x = 32$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 2
x = 32 / (2)
We get the answer: x = 16
