Question

Solve The Following Equations By Transposition Method :-

(a) x - 3 / 5 + 1 = -2

(b) 2x - 2 = 1/5
​​

Answer 1

Answer:

a)

$x - 3 \div 5 + 1 = - 2 \\ x - 3 = - 2(5 + 1) \\ x - 3 = - 10 + -2 \\ x - 3 = - 12 \\ x = - 12 + 3 \\ x = 9$

b)

$2x - 2 = 1 \div 5 \\ 5(2x - 2) = 1 \\ 10x + 10 = 1 \\ 10x = 1 - 10 \\ x = - 9 \div 10 \\ x = - 0.9$
