Question

how do you solve an equation using transposing? please give a step by step explanation​

Answer 1

Answer:

There are many ways to solve transposition problems.

One way is to do the same thing to both sides of the equation with the aim of bringing like terms together and isolating the unknown quantity.

So, to solve this equation, first subract 5 from both sides of the equation.

This action will get rid of number 5 from the LHS

which simplifies to:

Now, 2x equals to 24, so if we divide both sides with 2, we can get the value of x

that is:

Now, if your answer for x is 12, you can substitute this value in the original equation to check if your answer is correct:

So, your answer x=12 is correct.
