What does x equal if five divided by three x minus four divided three x minus one equals eight?

Answer 1

To solve for x, we can start by isolating x on one side of the equation.

Starting with the equation:

scss

Copy code

5 / (3x - 4) = 8 / (3x - 1)

We can multiply both sides of the equation by (3x - 1) (3x - 4) to clear the denominators:

scss

Copy code

5 * (3x - 4) = 8 * (3x - 1)

15x - 20 = 24x - 8

-9x = -28

x = 28 / -9

Finally, we can simplify the right-hand side:

makefile

Copy code

x = 28 / -9

x = -3.1111...

So the solution is x = -3.1111....

Answer 2

If: 5/3x - 4/3x - 1 = 8

Then: x = 1/27

Answer 3

5/3x - 4/3x - 1 = 8

Multiply through by '3x'

5 - 4 - 3x = 8(3x)

1 = 24x + 3x

1 = 27x

x = 1/27
