Question

5x = 2x + 18 solve the following equation

Answer 1

Answer:

Given,

5x=2x+18

or, 5x-2x=18

or, 3x=18

or, x=18/3

thus, x=6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

=> x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$5x = 2x + 18$

To find:- The value of the expression,

We must use the transposition method to calculate the value of x:

As we have,

=> $5x = 2x + 18$

Now subtract $2x$ from both sides, we get

=> $5x -2x= 2x + 18-2x$

=> $3x = 18$

Divide both sides by $3$, we get

=> $x = 6$

Hence, the required solution is 6.
