Question

If 6(x-2) = 4(x+5) . Find the value of x​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x-2) = 4(x+5)

6x-12 = 4x+20

6x-4x=20+12

2x=32

x=16

Verification

6(16-2) = 4(16+5)

96-12=64+20

84=84

Answer 2

Answer:

Question :-

If 6(x-2) = 4(x+5). Find the value of x

Required Answer :-

x = 16

Solution :-

$6(x-2) = 4(x+5)$

$= 6 \times x - 6 \times 2 = 4 \times x + 4 \times 5$

$= 6x - 12 = 4x + 20$

$= 6x - 4x = 20 + 12$

$2x = 32$

$x = \frac{32}{2}$

$x = \frac{3 \cancel2}{ \cancel2}$

$x = 16$

So the value of x is 16.

Verification :-

To verify our answer we will substitute the value of x in the given expression.

$6(x-2) = 4(x+5)$

$6(16-2) = 4(16+5)$

$6 \times 16 - 6 \times 2 = 4 \times 16 + 4 \times 5$

$96 - 12 = 64 + 20$

$84 = 84$

$LHS = RHS$

Hence verified.
