Question

3X+8=5X+2 Do It Without Transposing

Answer 1

Answer:

3x+8=5x+2

Answer is 3...

Step-by-step explanation:

First subtract both sides by 2, then,

3x+8-2=5x+2-2

3x+6=5x

Then subtract both sides by 3x, then,

3x+6-3x=5x-3x

6=2x

2x=6

Then divide both sides by 2, then,

2x/2=6x/2

x=3

Answer 2

Given:-

3x+8=5x+2, Solve the given equation without transposing and check your result.

To find :

The value of 3

Solution :

3x+8=5x+2

=> Subtract 5x on both sides

=> 3x - 5x +8 = 5x - 5x +2

=> -2x + 8 = 2

=> Subtract 8 on both sides

=> -2x +8 -8 = 2 - 8

=> -2x = - 6

=> Divide - 2 on both sides

=> -2x/-2 = -6/-2

=> x = 3.

Checking results :-

3x+8=5x+2

Substitute the value of x

=> 3(3) +8 = 5(3) +2

=> 9 + 8 = 15 + 2

=> 17 = 17.

LHS = RHS

Hence, verified
