Question

(i) 6 x + 5 = 2 x + 17​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given 6x + 5 = 2x + 17 Transposing 2x to LHS and 5 to RHS, we get 6x – 2x = 17 – 5 4x = 12 Dividing both sides by 4,

we get 4x/4 = 12/4 x = 3 Verification: Substituting x = 3 in the given equation, we get 6 × 3 + 5 = 2 × 3 + 17 18 + 5 = 6 + 17 23 = 23 Therefore LHS =

-result-6x-5-2x-17

Answer 2

Answer:

6x -2x = 17-5

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3
