Question

Find the value of X in 2X+1 equals to X+15

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

2x + 1 = x + 15

⇒ 2x - x = 15 - 1 (∵ transposing )

⇒ x = 14 is the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of $x$ which satisfies the linear equations is $x=14$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given $2x+1=x+15$ and we are asked to find the value of $x$ .

These are two linear equations in one variable. We can convert it to one equation and hence find the value of $x$ .

So $2x+1=x+15$ implies

      $2x-x=15-1\\\\x=14$.

To check whether the value is correct or not, just substitute it in the linear equations.

That is $2(14)+1=29$

and      $14+15=29$

Hence the answer.
