Question

Q2. Solve the following equations
i) 2-3(x-1)=29
can't find
(10 points)​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - 3(x - 1) = 29

2 - 3x + 3 = 29

5 - 3x = 29

∴ -3x = 29 - 5

-3x = 24

∴ x = $\frac{24}{-3}$

x = -8

Answer 2

x = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

QUESTION :-

Solve the equation -

2 - 3(x - 1) = 29

___________________

SOLUTION :-

2 - 3(x - 1) = 29

By transporting 2 to RHS,

- 3(x - 1) = 29 - 2

=> -3(x) - 3(-1) = 27

=> -3x + 3 = 27

By transporting 3 to RHS,

-3x = 27 - 3

=> -3x = 24

By transporting (-3×) to RHS,

=> x = 24 ÷ (-3)

=> x = - 8

Hence,

The value of x is - 8.

____________________

TO VERIFY :-

x = (-8)

=> 2 - 3(x - 1) = 29

=> 2 - 3(-8 - 1) = 29

=> 2 - 3(-9) = 29

=> 2 + 27 = 29

=> 29 = 29

=> LHS = RHS

Hence verified.
