Question

Show that x=4 is a solution for the equation x+7-8x/3=17/6-5x/8

Answer 1

Answer:

X+7 -8x/3 = 17/6 – 5x/2

On combining all the like terms we get

X+7 -8x/3 +5x/2= 17/6

LCM of the denominators 2, 3 is 6.

[6(x+7)- 2(8x)+3(5x)]/6=17/6

6x+42-16x+15x=6× (17/6)

6x -16x+15x+42= 17

-10x+15x=17-42

5x= -25

x= -25/5

X= -5
