Question

Solve for x: 2x – y = (3/4)x + 6.

(a) (y + 6)/5,

(b) 4(y + 6)/5,

(c) (y + 6),

(d) 4(y - 6)/5.
​

Answer 1

Answer:-

Option (b)

2x – y = (3/4)x + 6

or, 2x - (3/4)x = y + 6

or, (8x -3x)/4 = y + 6

or, 5x/4 = y + 6

or, 5x = 4(y + 6)

or, 5x = 4y + 24

or, x = (4y + 24)/5

Henec, x = 4(y + 6)/5
