Work: Find the solution of equation (-20-x)/(40-x) = 2/3 .
Question type: Equation
Solution:Original question:
| ( | - | 20 | − | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 40 | − | x | ) | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 40 | − | x | ) |
| ( | - | 20 | − | x | ) | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 40 | − | x | ) |
| - | 20 | − | x | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 40 | − | x | ) |
| - | 20 | − | x | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | 40 | − | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | x |
| - | 20 | − | x | = | 80 3 | − | 2 3 | x |
Transposition :
| - | x | + | 2 3 | x | = | 80 3 | + | 20 |
Combine the items on the left of the equation:
| - | 1 3 | x | = | 80 3 | + | 20 |
Combine the items on the right of the equation:
| - | 1 3 | x | = | 140 3 |
By shifting the terms and changing the symbols on toth sides of the equation, we obtain :
| - | 140 3 | = | 1 3 | x |
If the left side of the equation is equal to the right side, then the right side must also be equal to the left side, that is :
1 3 | x | = | - | 140 3 |
The coefficient of the unknown number is reduced to 1 :
| x | = | - | 140 3 | ÷ | 1 3 |
| = | - | 140 3 | × | 3 |
| = | - | 140 | × | 1 |
We obtained :
| x | = | - | 140 |
