5x + 3 2x+ 4 --------- = -------- 9 5

[tex]( \frac{5x+3}{9})= (\frac{2x+4}{5}) \\ \\ \frac{1}{9}(5x+3) = \frac{1}{5}(2x+4) \\ \\ \frac{5}{9}x + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{5}x + \frac{4}{5} \\ \\ \frac{5}{9}x - \frac{2}{5}x = -\frac{1}{3} + \frac{4}{5} \\ \\ \frac{7}{45}x = \frac{7}{15} \\ \\ x = \frac{ \frac{7}{15} }{ \frac{7}{45} } \\ \\ x = 3[/tex]
