Question

Solve the equation and check your answer = 5/8 x - 6 = 9​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5}{8} x - 6 = 9 \\ \frac{5x}{8} = 9 + 6 = 15 \\ 5x = 15 \times 8 \\ 5x = 120 \\ x = 120 \div 5 \\ x = 24$

Let's check whether it's correct or not

$\frac{5}{8} \times 24 - 6 = 9 \\ \frac{120}{8} - 6 = 9 \\ 15 - 6 = 9 \\ 9 = 9$

L.H.S=R.H.S

hence verified
