Question

1. Solve the following equations.

(1) 2x – 3 = 5
(2) 1/2 – 8x = –15/2​

Answer 1

Answer:

1)X=4

2) X=1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 2X-3=5

2X=5+3=8

X=8/2

X=4

2) 1/2-8X=-15/2

-8X=-15/2-1/2

-8X=-16/2

8X=16/2

8X=8

X=1

Answer 2

Answer:

(1) x = 4

(2) x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

$2x \: - \: 3 \: = \: 5$

$or \: \: \: 2x \: = 5 + 3 = 8$

$or \: \: \: x = \frac{8}{2} = 4$

(2)

$\frac{1}{2} - 8x \: = \: - \frac{15}{2}$

$or \: \: \: - 8x = - \frac{15}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{ - 15 - 1}{2} = \frac{ - 16}{2}$

$or \: \: \: - 8x \: = \frac{ - 16}{2} = - 8$

$or \: \: \: x = \frac{ - 8}{ - 8} = 1$
