a) Đặt: \(\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{c}{d}=k\Leftrightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}a=bk\\c=dk\end{matrix}\right.\)
Ta có: \(\left\{{}\begin{matrix}\dfrac{5a+3b}{5a-3b}=\dfrac{5bk+3b}{5bk-3b}=\dfrac{b\left(5k+3\right)}{b\left(5k-3\right)}=\dfrac{5k+3}{5k-3}\\\dfrac{5c+3d}{5c-3d}=\dfrac{5dk+3d}{5dk-3d}=\dfrac{d\left(5k+3\right)}{d\left(5k-3\right)}=\dfrac{5k+3}{5k-3}\end{matrix}\right.\Rightarrowđpcm\)
b) \(\dfrac{x-1}{2017}+\dfrac{x-2}{2016}=\dfrac{x-3}{2015}+\dfrac{x-4}{2014}\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(\dfrac{x-1}{2017}-1\right)+\left(\dfrac{x-2}{2016}-1\right)=\left(\dfrac{x-3}{2015}-1\right)+\left(\dfrac{x-4}{2014}-1\right)\)\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{x-2018}{2017}+\dfrac{x-2018}{2016}=\dfrac{x-2018}{2015}+\dfrac{x-2018}{2014}\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(x-2018\right)\left(\dfrac{1}{2017}+\dfrac{1}{2016}-\dfrac{1}{2015}-\dfrac{1}{2014}\right)=0\)
vì \(\dfrac{1}{2017}+\dfrac{1}{2016}-\dfrac{1}{2015}-\dfrac{1}{2014}\ne0\) nên \(x-2018=0\Leftrightarrow x=2018\)
