Question

Solve the following by transposing method
a] 2x-2/2=15
b] 4x/2=18
c] 5=2x/3=9
d]y-2/4=6-2

Answer 1

Answer:

a). x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x-2)/2= 15

doing transposing of 2

2x-2 =30

doing transposing of -2

2x =30+2

2x = 32

doing transposing of 2

x = 32/2

x = 16

(b) answer: x = 9

4x/2 = 18

doing transposing of 2

4x = 18.2

4x = 36

doing transposing of 4

x =36/4

x = 9

(c)

5 = 2x/3 = 9

case-1

5 = 2x/3

doing transposing of 3

15 = 2x

doing transposing of 2

x = 15/2 answer

(d).

y-2/4 = 6-2

doing transposing of 2/4

y= 4+2/4

y= (16+2)/4

y = 18/4

y= 9/2
