2x - 2
4.
x = [?]

Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{3x-3}{5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2x-2}{4}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
4(3x - 3) = 5(2x - 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
12x - 12 = 10x - 10 ( subtract 10x from both sides )
2x - 12 = - 10 ( add 12 to both sides )
2x = 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 1
