Here is your answer
(g) 3(x + 1) = 6
(h) 4(x - 2) = -8
(i) 3x + 8 = 5x + 2
(j) (1/3)x + 11 = 14
(k) (x - 5)/4 = 3
(l) (z + 3)/4 = 17
SOLUTION :
(g) 3(x + 1) = 6
⇒ = [Divide both sides by 3 ]
⇒ x + 1 = 2
⇒ x + 1 - 1 = 2 - 1 [ Adding -1 to both sides ]
⇒ x = 1
∴ x = 1 is the solution of the given equation ( 3(x + 1) = 6 )
___________________________________
(h) 4( x - 2) = -8
⇒ = [ Divide both sides by 4 ]
⇒ x - 2 = -2
⇒ x - 2 + 2 = -2 + 2 [ Adding 2 to both sides ]
⇒ x = 0
∴ x = 0 is the solution of the given equation ( 4( x - 2) = -8 )
___________________________________
(i) 3x + 8 = 5x + 2
⇒ 3x + 8 - 2 = 5x + 2 - 2 [ Adding -2 to both sides ]
⇒ 3x + 6 = 5x
⇒ 6 + 3x - 3x = 5x - 3x [ Adding -3x to both sides ]
⇒ 6 = 2x
⇒ =
⇒ 3 = x
∴ x = 3 is the solution of the given equation ( 3x + 8 = 5x + 2 )
___________________________________
(j) (1/3)x + 11 = 14
⇒ + 11 = 14
⇒ + 11 = 14
⇒ + 11 - 11 = 14 - 11 [ Adding -11 to both sides ]
⇒ = 3
⇒ = 3 × 3 [Multiply both sides by 3 ]
⇒ x = 9
∴ x = 9 is the solution of the given equation ( (1/3)x + 11 = 14 )
___________________________________
(k) (x-5)/4 = 3
⇒ = 3 × 4 [ Multiply both sides by 4 ]
⇒ x - 5 = 12
⇒ x - 5 + 5 = 12 + 5
⇒ x = 17
∴ x = 17 is the solution of the given equation ( (x-5)/4 = 3 )
___________________________________
(l) (z+3)/4 = 17
⇒ = 17 × 4 [ Multiply both sides by 4 ]
⇒ z + 3 = 68
⇒ z + 3 - 3 = 68 - 3
⇒ z = 65
∴ z = 65 is the solution of the given equation ( (z+3)/4 = 17 )
