Question

solve for x and verify :

5 (x-2)-2 ( x+2) =3​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 ( x - 2 ) - 2 ( x + 2 ) = 3

5x - 10 - 2x + 4 = 3

5x - 2x - 6 = 3

3x - 6 = 3

3x = 3 + 6

3x = 9

x = 9 ÷ 3

x = 3

By putting x = 3 in LHS

LHS = 5 ( x - 2 ) - 2 ( x + 2 )

= 5 ( 3 - 2 ) - 2 ( 3 + 2 )

= 15 - 10 - 6 + 4

= 5 - 6 + 4

= 5 - 2

= 3

RHS = 3

RHS = LHS

Hence , Verified

Hope this Helps !
