Question

Solve the following equation and also check your result :
(2x+5)/3 = 3x - 10​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{(2x + 5)}{3} = 3x - 10$

$\frac{5 + 10}{3} = 3x - 2x \\ \frac{15}{3} = x \\ x = \frac{15}{3} \\ x = 5$

Answer 2

Answer:

(2x+5)/3 = 3x - 10

2x + 5 = 3x - 10 - 3

2x + 5 = 3x - 13

5 +13 = 3x -2x

18 = x

x= 18

$\frac{2 \times 18 + 5}{3} = 3 \times 18 - 10$

2×6+5 = 3×18-10

17 = 54-10

17 = 44

so LHS not equal to RHS
