Solve the linear equation:
$$\frac{2}{4x-7} = \frac{10}{9x-4}$$
The answer I get is $\frac{31}{11}$.
Is that correct?
Thanks

2It's easy to check solutions of equations: plug your solution back in and see if everything matches. – 2017-01-09

0Your equation is equivalent to $$18x-8=40x-70\iff 22x=62\iff x=\dfrac{31}{11}$$ – 2017-01-09

1Note, though, that since the original equation contains fractions, you must check that your solution does not make either denominator zero (it doesn't). – 2017-12-21
