Question

5 – 3/4 = 2x, then x = …………… ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x =17/8

Step-by-step explanation:

5-(3/4) = 2x

This implies, (5/1) - (3/4) = 2x

i,e. 5/1 - 3/4 = 2x

Now, we have to find the lcm of 1,4

And the lcm of 1,4 is = 4 ,

Now, ((5×4) - (3×1)) /4 = 2x

i,e. (20-3) /4 = 2x

i,e. 2x = 17/4

i,e. 2× x = 17/4

This implies , x = (17/4) ÷2=17/4 × 1/2 = 17/8

Answer 2

• We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

              Given data:- $5-\frac{3}{4} =2x.$

              To find:- Value of the expression.

              Solution:-

• Here we will use the transposition method.

• Transposition is one of the linear equations.

• To solve the transposition method we will Identify the variables and constants.

• Then we Simplify the equation in LHS and RHS.

• Now Simplify the equation using arithmetic operations.

        By using the transposition method.

        we get,

                  $5-\frac{3}{4} =2x\\=>\frac{17}{4} =2x\\=>x=\frac{17}{4\times2} \\=>x=\frac{17}{8} .$

      Hence we will get the value $x=\frac{17}{8} .$
