1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve problem number 28 from the image, which is to find the value of xx in the equation 4x+1=73x2\frac{4}{x+1} = \frac{7}{3x-2}.

2. Solution Steps

To solve the equation 4x+1=73x2\frac{4}{x+1} = \frac{7}{3x-2}, we can cross-multiply:
4(3x2)=7(x+1)4(3x-2) = 7(x+1)
Expanding both sides of the equation, we have:
12x8=7x+712x - 8 = 7x + 7
Now, we subtract 7x7x from both sides:
12x7x8=7x7x+712x - 7x - 8 = 7x - 7x + 7
5x8=75x - 8 = 7
Next, we add 8 to both sides:
5x8+8=7+85x - 8 + 8 = 7 + 8
5x=155x = 15
Finally, we divide both sides by 5:
5x5=155\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{15}{5}
x=3x = 3

3. Final Answer

x=3x = 3
