Question

How do you solve `\frac { 2x + 4} { 5} = \frac { x + 4} { 6 }`?

Answer 1

You cross multiply, the solve for `x`

Explanation:

Assuming you have to solve for `x`,
You would do `2x` + 4 ⋅ 6 and `x` +4 ⋅ 5, then make them equal each other

So,
`12x` + 24 = `5x` + 20

Then put all the variables on one side and numbers on the other.
`12x` - `5x` = 20 - 24

`7x` = -4

Then solve for `x`,
`x` = `-4/7`
