Question

In x-1/12=5/6,the value of 2x is

Answer 1

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

$\implies \dfrac{x-1}{12} = \dfrac{5}{6}\\\\\text{Cross multiplying we get,}\\\\\implies 6(x - 1 ) = 5 ( 12 )\\\\\implies 6x - 6 = 60\\\\\implies 6x = 60 + 6 = 66\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{66}{6} = 11$

Hence 2x will be equal to: 2 × x ⇒ 2 × 11 = 22

Hence the value of 2x is 22.

Hope it helped !!

Answer 2

$\frac{x - 1}{12} = \frac{5}{6 } \\ x - 1 = 12 \times \frac{5}{6} \\ x = 10 - 1 \\ x = 9 \\ 2x = 18$
