Question

5x-4=2(3x+2) solve and check please solve this

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = - 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-4=2(3x+2)

5x-4=6x+4

5x-6x=4+4

-x=8

x=-8

checking the solution

(5×-8)-4=2((3×-8)+2)

-40-4=2(-24+2)

-44=2(-22)

-44=-44

LHS=RHS

HENCE VERIFIED

$\rm \implies \: x = - 8$

Answer 2

Question

• Find the value of x in 5x-4=2(3x+2).

Solution

______________________________________

______________________________________

⟼$\tt\bold{5x - 4 = 2(3x + 2)}$

⟼$\tt\bold{5x - 4 = 6x + 4}$

⟼$\tt\bold{5x - 6x = 4 + 4}$

⟼$\tt\bold{ - 1x = 8}$

⟼$\tt\bold{x = \frac{8}{ - 1} }$

⟼$\tt\bold{x = - 8}$

Verification

⟼$\tt\bold{5( - 8) - 4 = 2 (3 \times - 8 + 2) }$

⟼$\tt\bold{ - 40 - 4 =2( - 24 + 2 })$

⟼$\tt\bold{ - 44 =2( - 22) }$

⟼$\tt\bold{ - 44 = - 44}$

:⟼$\tt\bold{lhs \: = \: rhs \: }$

:⟼$\tt\bold{hence \: verified }$
