solve for X and verify your result (1)3(2x-1)=5(x-1). (2)3x+4(x-2)=3(x-4)+2
Answers
Answer:
1) 6x-3=5x-5
6x-5x=-5+3
x=-2
putting the value
6 (-2)-3 5 (-2)-5
-12-3 -10-5
-15 = -15
2) 3x+4x-8=3x-12+2
7x-8=3x-10
7x-3x=-10+8
4x=-2
x=-2/4=-1/2
putting the value
7 (-1/2)-8 3 (-1/2)-10
-7/2-8 -3/2-10
(-7-16)/2 (-3-20)/2
-23/2 = -23/2
Step-by-step explanation:
we have,
(1) 3(2x-1) = 5(x-1)
6x-3 = 5x-5
x => -2 ....ans.
for verifying,,
LHS, 3[2(-2)-1] = 3(-5) = -15
RHS, 5(-2-1) = 5(-3) = -15
so, it is true
(2) 3x+4(x-2) = 3(x-4)+2
3x+4x-8 = 3x-12+2
4x = -10+8
x = -2/4
x => -1/2 ....ans.
for verifying,,
LHS, 3(-1/2)+4(-1/2-2)
= -3/2+4×(-5/2)
= -3/2-10
= -23/2
RHS, 3(-1/2-4)+2
= 3(-9/2)+2
= -27/2+2
= -23/2
so, it is true
