Question

If 2x + 5 = x/6 - 2 , then x= ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5=x/6-2

2x+5=x-12/6 ( lcm)

(2x+5) 6 =x-12

12x+30=x-12

12x-x=-12-30

11x=-42

x=-42/11

Answer 2

$\sf 2x + 5 = \frac{x}{6} - 2$

$\sf \implies 2x - \frac{x}{6} = - 7$

$\sf \implies\frac{11x}{6} = - 7$

$\sf \implies x = \frac{ - 7 \times 6}{11}$

$\sf \implies x = \frac{ - 42}{11}$

Hence, the value of x is -42/11
