Question

Express the following equations as statements. 2 (i) 5x – 3 = 17​

Answer 1

Answer:

5x=17+3

5x=20

x=20/5

x=4

Answer 2

$\color{Pink}\boxed{\colorbox{Black}{Given}}$

5x-3 =x+17

Now, bring the variables on one side and the constants on the other side.

5x – x = 17+3

4x = 20

x = 20/4

x = 5.

Therefore, the value of x = 5.

$\color{Pink}\boxed{\colorbox{Black}{verification}}$

Now, substitute x = 5 in the given equation:

5(5) – 3 = 5+17

25-3 = 22

22 = 22

Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S.
