HELP DUE IN 10 MINS!

Solve for x.

4x + 2 / x - 9 = 3/5

Answer 1

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{4x+2}{x-9}=\dfrac{3}{5}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 5(4x+2)=3(x-9)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 20x+10=3x-27$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 20x-3x=-27-10$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 17x=-37$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{-37}{17}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{4x+2}{x-9}$ = $\frac{3}{5}$

5( 4x+ 2 ) = 3 ( x-9 )

20x + 10 = 3x - 27

20x -3x = -27 -10

17x = -37

x = - 37/17
