5(x + 3) = 25(3x - 4), then find the value of x
A. $$\frac{{11}}{5}$$
B. $$\frac{5}{{11}}$$
C. $$\frac{{13}}{5}$$
D. $$\frac{5}{{13}}$$
Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
5(x + 3) = 25(3x - 4)Or, 5(x + 3) = 52 × (3x - 4)
Now, comparing the powers,
(x + 3) = 2 × (3x - 4)
Or, x + 3 = 6x - 8
Or, 6x - x = 8 + 3
Or, 5x = 11
Hence, x = $$\frac{{11}}{5}$$
