1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the equation 35x+6=55x10\frac{3}{5x+6} = \frac{5}{5x-10} for xx.

2. Solution Steps

To solve the equation 35x+6=55x10\frac{3}{5x+6} = \frac{5}{5x-10}, we can cross-multiply.
3(5x10)=5(5x+6)3(5x-10) = 5(5x+6)
Now, distribute the constants on both sides:
15x30=25x+3015x - 30 = 25x + 30
Next, we want to isolate the xx terms on one side and the constant terms on the other side. Subtract 15x15x from both sides:
30=10x+30-30 = 10x + 30
Subtract 30 from both sides:
60=10x-60 = 10x
Finally, divide both sides by 10:
x=6x = -6

3. Final Answer

x=6x = -6
