Math Problem Statement

Знайдіть значення змінної x, при якому дріб (9 - 4x) / 5 дорівнює 3.

Solution

The problem asks us to find the value of xx for which the expression

94x5=3\frac{9 - 4x}{5} = 3

To solve this, we start by multiplying both sides by 5 to eliminate the denominator:

94x=3×59 - 4x = 3 \times 5

Simplifying the right side:

94x=159 - 4x = 15

Next, we isolate xx by first subtracting 9 from both sides:

4x=159-4x = 15 - 9

4x=6-4x = 6

Now, divide both sides by -4 to solve for xx:

x=64x = \frac{6}{-4}

x=32x = -\frac{3}{2}

So, the value of xx that satisfies the equation is:

32\boxed{-\frac{3}{2}}
