Question

Linear Equation

3 4
____ = _____
x + 8 6 - x

Answer 1

Explanation:

SOLUTION

Given,

3 4

———— = ————

x + 8 6 - x

=> 4(x + 8) = 3(6 - x)

=> 4x + 32 = 18 - 3x

=> 4x + 3x = 18 - 32

=> 7x = -14

=> x = -14/7

=> x = -2

CHECK

L.H.S. = 3/(-2) + 8 = 3/6 = 1/2

R.H.S. = 4/6 -(-2) = 4/8 = 1/2

=> L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Answer 2

Explanation:

L.H.S. = 3/(-2) + 8 = 3/6 = => L.H.S. = R.H.S.
