Question

5x - 8= -2x +6 (Transposing method)​

Answer 1

Answer:

If 5x - 8= -2x +6  then x = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving to the opposite side is referred to as transposing. The sign of a number changes as it is transposed from one side to the other. The effect of transposing a number is the same as adding the same number to (or subtracting the same number from) both sides.

5x - 8= -2x +6

Transposing -2x on left side

5x + 2x - 8 = 6

Transposing -8 to right side

5x + 2x = 6 + 8

(5 +2)x = 14

7x = 14

Divide both side by 7

x = 2

Answer 2

Answer:

The required value of x$=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

In accordance with the information provided in the question,

Given the data in question 5x - 8= -2x +6

We have find the value of" x" in the above question.

Here we will use the transposition method.

Hence, for solving the above equation, we will solve it by separating the like terms at one side to another side ,

So, we will shift 8 from LHS to RHS the sign will change from negative to positive ,

So, we will shift 2x from LHS to RHS the sign will change from negative to positive ,

As we get,

[tex]5x-8=-2x+6\\ 5x+2x=6+8\\ 7x=14[/tex]

Dividing both side by 7 we get,

[tex]\frac{7x}{7}= \frac{14}{7} \\ x=2[/tex]

Hence the required value of x$=2$
