Question

a) Verify whether y=4 satisfy the equation 3y-5=7?
b) Solve the equation 6x+10 = 26- 2x ​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. yes this is correct

b. x= 8

Answer 2

Answer:

• y = 4 is the solution of  3y - 5= 7.
• If 6x + 10 = 26 -2x then x = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Verify whether y=4 satisfies the equation 3y-5=7?

To verify this put y = 4 in 3y - 5= 7

LHS = 3y - 5

= 3(4) - 5

= 12 - 5

= 7

= RHS

So, y = 4 is the solution of  3y - 5= 7.

b) Solve the equation 6x+10 = 26- 2x

6x + 10 = 26- 2x

6x + 2x = 26 - 10

(6 + 2)x = 16

8x = 16

x = 16/8 = 2

So, If 6x + 10 = 26 -2x then x = 2.
