Question

Solve the following by transposition method and check your answer : 1) 2x=-8
2) 3-2y=-5. 3)q-1/2=4-q. 4) a+3/2=5-6a ​

Answer 1

Answer:

answer 1

2x=-8

x=-8/2

hence x=-4

answer2

3-2y=-5

-2y= -5-3

-2y=-8

hence y= -8/-2= 4

answer 3

q-1/2=4-q

q+q=4+1/2

2q=8+1/2

2q=9/2

q=9

answer 4

a+3/2=5-6a

3/2-5= -6a-a

3-10/2= -7a

-7/2= -7a

-7/2*-7= a

hence a = 1/2
