Question

Solve and check 8x –5 = 2x + 19

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 5 = 2x + 19

8x - 2x = 19 + 5

6x = 24

x = 24÷ 6

x = 4

check

8(4) - 5 = 2(4) +19

32 -5 = 8 +19

27 = 27

Answer 2

Answer:

8x-2x=19+5

6x = 24

x=24

6

x=4

Checking:

8×4-5=2×4+19

32-5=8+19

27=27

Hence proved
