Practice Question
Solve the equation for x: (2x-3)/5 = x/10
Answer Choices
- A: 2
- B: 3
- C: 1\5
- D: 10
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Multiply both sides by 10 to clear denominators: 2(2x - 3) = x. Simplify: 4x - 6 = x. Subtract x: 3x - 6 = 0. Add 6: 3x = 6. Divide by 3: x = 2. Verify: Left side = (4-3)/5 = 1/5, right side = 2/10 = 1/5. Thus, the correct answer is 2.
