Question

2.
(i) x - 4x + 2x + 5 is divided by x
22​

Answer 1

Explanation:

4x + 3/5 = 5

first multiply all terms by 5 to eliminate the fraction:

5(4x) + 5(3/5) = 5*5

20x + 5 = 25

Subtract 5 from both sides:

20x = 20

Divide by 20:

x = 1

Now substitute for x in the original fraction to prove this:

4x + 3/5 = 5

x = 1

Multiply all terms by 5 to eliminate the fraction:

4*1 + 3/5 = 5

5(4) + 5(3/5) = 25

20 + 5 = 25

25 = 25

So x = 1.
