Question

find the value trial and error method x:2(x+5)=8
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Giving the value of x to -1

= 2(-1 + 5) = 8

= 2 x 4 = 8

= 8 = 8

Hence, the value of x is -1

Answer 2

In accordance with the information provided in the question,

We have find the value of the supplied expression in the above question.

Given the data in question 2(x+5)=8

Arrange the equation $2x+10=8$

Hence, for solving the above equation, we will solve it by separating the like terms at one side.

So, we will shift 10 from LHS to RHS,

So, we will get it as,

$=2x+10=8\\\Rightarrow 2x=8-10\\\Rightarrow 2x=-2\\\Rightarrow\frac{-2}{2} \\\Rightarrow x=-1$

Hence, value of "x" in above equation will be $-1$.
