Question

Solve the equation (6x + 5) = (2x + 17) and verify the answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 6x + 5 = 2x + 17

Transposing 2x to LHS and 5 to RHS, we get

6x – 2x = 17 – 5 4x = 12

Dividing both sides by 4, we get

4x/4 = 12/4

x = 3

Verification:

Substituting x = 3 in the given equation, we get

6 × 3 + 5 = 2 × 3 + 17

18 + 5 = 6 + 17

23 = 23

Therefore LHS = RHS

Hence, verified

Pls mark me as brainliest and GOOD LUCK !

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 3

Explanation:

6x + 5 = 2x + 17

6x - 2x = 17 - 5

(Keeping the variables on one side and the constants on the other)

4x = 12

x = 12/4 = 3

Verification:

Substituting x = 3

6 x 3 + 5 = 2 x 3 + 17

18 + 5 = 6 + 17

23 = 23 (Verified)

Hope it helps! :)
