Question

solve the following equation and also verify the solution 2(x-11)=5(x+10)​

Answer 1

Answer:

2(x-11)=5(x+10)

2x-22=5x+50

2x-5x=50+22

-3x= 72

x=72/-3

x=. (-24)

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-11) = 5(x+10)

⇒2x - 22 = 5x + 50

⇒2x - 5x = 50 + 22

⇒-3x = 72

⇒-x = 72/3

⇒-x = 24

⇒x = -24

.°. x = -24

Checking :-

2(x-11) = 5(x+10)

→ 2x - 22 = 5x + 50

→ 2×(-24) - 22 = 5×(-24) + 50

→ -48 - 22 = (-120) + 50

→ - 70 = (-70)

→ LHS = RHS

Hence, x = -24 is the correct answer.
