Question

In the expression,5(8x+3)=9(4x+7),what is the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

X = 12

5(8x + 3) = 9(4x + 7)

=> 5(8x) + 5(3) = 9(4x) + 9(7)

=> 40x + 15 = 36x + 63

=> (40x - 36x) = (63 - 15)

=> 4x = 48

=> x = 48/4

=> x = 12

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of the expression is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$5(8x+3)=9(4x+7)$

To find:- The value of the expression:

Here we will use the transposition method.

First of all, we have to identify the variables and the constants.

Then solve the expression of both sides by using various mathematical operations.

As we have,

=> $5(8x+3)=9(4x+7)$

First of all, distributing the terms:

=> $40x +15=36x +63$

Now subtract both sides by $15$,

=> $40x +15-15=36x +63-15$

Simplifying it further, we get

=> $40x=36x +63-15$

Subtract the numbers,

=> $40x=36x +48$

Now subtract both sides by $36x$,

=> $40x-36x=36x +48-36x$

=> $4x = 48$

Divide both sides by $4$,

=> $x = 12$

Hence, the required solution is 12.
