Question

solve the equation for x (1) 2(x+3) =5

(2) 2(x+5)=3(x-2)​

Answer 1

Given:

• 2(x+3) = 5
• 2(x+5) = 3(x-2)

To do :

• Solve equation for x

Solution:

Solving questions 1️⃣ :-

2(x+3) = 5

→ 2x + 6 = 5

→ 2x = 5-6

→ 2x = -1

→ x = $\large{\sf{\dfrac{-1}{2}}}$

Therefore,

$\large{\boxed{\mathcal{\green{x \:=\: \dfrac{-1}{2}}}}}$

Solving questions 2️⃣

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

→ 2x + 10 = 3x - 6

→ 2x - 3x = -6 -10

→ -x = -16

→ x = 16

Therefore,

$\large{\boxed{\mathcal{\green{x \:=\: 16}}}}$
