Question

Solve the following equation by using transpose method:-

a) 4(m+3)=18
b)12p-5=25

​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 3/2. b) 5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 4(m+3) = 18

=> 4m + 12 = 18

=> 4m = 18 - 12 (Transposing 12 to RHS)

=> 4m = 6

=> m = 6 ÷ 4 (Transposing 4 to RHS)

=> m = 3/2.

b) 12p - 5 = 25

=> 12p = 25 + 5 (Transposing 5 to RHS)

=> 12p = 30

=> p = 30 ÷ 12 (Transposing 12 to RHS)

=> p = 5/2.
