Question

3x=5x-8/5 linear equation

Answer 1

The given linear equation is:

3x = $\dfrac{5x-8}{5}$

We have to find, the value of x is:

Solution:

∴ 3x = $\dfrac{5x-8}{5}$

By cross-multiplication, we get

5(3x) = 5x - 8

⇒ 15x = 5x - 8

⇒ 15x - 5x =  - 8

⇒ 10x =  - 8

Dividing both sides by 10, we get

$\dfrac{10x}{10}$ = $\dfrac{- 8}{10}$

⇒ x = $\dfrac{- 4}{5}$ or, - 0.8

∴ x = $\dfrac{- 4}{5}$ or, - 0.8

Thus, the value of x in the given linear equation is " $\dfrac{- 4}{5}$ or, - 0.8".
