Question

$$\frac{3x+4}{2x+5}=1$$

Solve for x

$x=1$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable $x$ cannot be equal to $-\frac{5}{2}$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $2x+5$.

$$3x+4=2x+5$$

Subtract $2x$ from both sides.

$$3x+4-2x=5$$

Combine $3x$ and $-2x$ to get $x$.

$$x+4=5$$

Subtract $4$ from both sides.

$$x=5-4$$

Subtract $4$ from $5$ to get $1$.

$$x=1$$
