Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of x is 10 and it satisfies the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$2(x-2)=16$

To find:- The value of x, and also verify the answer.

For solving, we have to use the transposition method:

As we have,

=> $2(x-2)=16$

Distributing the terms, we get

=> $2x-4=16$

Now add both sides by $4$, we get

=> $2x-4+4=16+4$

Simplifying it further, we get

=> $2x = 20$

Divide both sides by $2$, we get

=> $x = 10$

Hence, the required solution is 10.

Verification:

Now, substitute the value of x as 10,

=> $2(x-2)=16$

=> 2 ( 10 - 2 ) = 16

=> 2 ( 8 ) = 16

=> 16 = 16

LHS = RHS
