Here's the solution for the new equation.
The equation is:
23(2x−1)=41(5x−3)
Step 1: Distribute the numbers on both sides of the equation.
(23×2x)−(23×1)=(41×5x)−(41×3)
3x−23=45x−43
Step 2: Eliminate the denominators by multiplying the entire equation by the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. The LCM of 2 and 4 is 4.
Multiply every term by 4:
4(3x)−4(23)=4(45x)−4(43)
12x−6=5x−3
Step 3: Collect all terms with x on one side and constant terms on the other side.
Subtract 5x from both sides:
12x−5x−6=−3
7x−6=−3
Add 6 to both sides:
7x=−3+6
7x=3
Step 4: Solve for x.
Divide both sides by 7:
x=73
The final answer is 73.
