Question

8(x + 1) = 3(2x + 3) then x = _________.​

Answer 1

Question

• 8(x + 1) = 3(2x + 3) .Find the value of x

Solution

______________________________________

______________________________________

$\tt\bold{⟼8(x + 1) = 3(2x + 3)}$

$\tt\bold{⟼8x + 8 = 6x + 9}$

$\tt\bold{⟼8x - 6x = 9 - 8}$

$\tt\bold{⟼2x = 1}$

$\tt\bold{⟼x = \frac{1}{2} }$

Verification

⟼$\tt\bold{8( \frac{1}{2} + 1) = 3(2 \times \frac{1}{2} + 3)}$

⟼$\tt\bold{8( \frac{3}{2}) = 3(1 + 3) }$

⟼$\tt\bold{4 \times 3 = 3 \times 4}$

⟼$\tt\bold{12 = 12}$

⟼$\tt\bold{lhs \: = rhs \: }$

⟼$\tt\bold{hence \: verified \: }$
