Question

solve: 5x/6 = x - 2
​

Answer 1

Answer:

If $\frac{5x}{6} = x - 2$ then x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5x}{6} = x - 2$

Multiply both sides by 6

$6 \times \frac{5x}{6} = 6( x - 2)\\5x = 6x - 12$

Subtract both sides by 6x

$5x -6x = 6x - 12 -6x\\-x = -12\\x = 12$

Answer 2

In accordance with the information provided in the question,

We have find the value of the supplied expression in the above question.

Given the data in question  5x/6 = x - 2

​arranging the equation

$5x/6=x-2\\5x=6x-12$

Hence, for solving the above equation, we will solve it by separating the like terms at one side.

So, we will shift 6x from RHS to LHS,

So, we will get it as,

$=5x=6x-12\\=5x-6x=-12\\=-x=-12\\=x=12$

Hence, value of "x" in above equation will be 12.
