Question

5x/7=x-20......Solve the given equation​

Answer 1

5x/7 = x - 20

=> 5x/7 - x = -20

=> -2x/7 = -20

=> 2x/7 = 20

=> 2x = 140

=> x = 70

Hope it helps ..!!✌

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x is 70.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context question asked that,

We have to find the value of the given equation,  

Given that,

$\frac{5x}{7}= x - 20$

Here we will use the transposition method,

Now, subtract both sides by $x$:

=> $\frac{5x}{7}-x= x - 20+x$

Simplifying it further,

=> $\frac{5x}{7}-x=- 20$

Find the common denominator,

=> $\frac{5x}{7}+ \frac{7 ( -x)}{7} = -20$

Combine it with the common denominator,

=> $\frac{5x+7 ( -x)}{7} = -20$

Simplifying it further,

=> $\frac{5x-7x}{7} = -20$

=> $\frac{-2x}{7} = -20$

Now, multiply both sides by 7 we get

=> $-2x =- 140$

Divide both sides by -2,

=> $x = 70$

Hence, the required solution is 70.
