Question

EXERC
Solve the following equations.
1.
8x-3
= 2
3x​

Answer 1

Answer:

2x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We observe that the equation is not a linear equation since LHS is not linear.

So we multiply 3x to both the sides to make it linear.

We get, 8x - 3 = 2

3x

or 8x - 3 = 6x

or 8x - 6x = 3

or 2x = 3

Answer 2

Answer:

$8x = 2 + 3 \\ x = \frac{5}{8}$
