Solve the following questions
1. 2x + 4 = 30
2. (x + 4) ÷7 = (x - 6)÷5
3. 5(y - 6) = 4(y + 2)
4. 7(a + 1 )= a + 29
5. 4x - 7 = 2( x -1 )÷3
Answers
Solution:
1). 2x + 4 = 30
Sol. 2x + 4 = 30
=> 2x = 30 - 4
=> 2x = 26
=> x = 26/2
=> x = 13
_________________________
2). (x + 4)/7 = (x - 6)/5
Sol. (x + 4)/7 = (x - 6)/5
=> 7(x - 6) = 5(x + 4)
=> 7x - 42 = 5x + 20
=> 7x - 5x = 20 + 42
=> 2x = 62
=> x = 62/2
=> x = 31
_________________________
3). 5(y - 6) = 4(y + 2)
Sol. 5(y - 6) = 4(y + 2)
=> 5y - 30 = 4y + 8
=> 5y - 4y = 30 + 8
=> y = 38
_________________________
4). 7(a + 1) = a + 29
Sol. 7(a + 1) = a + 29
=> 7a + 7 = a + 29
=> 7a - a = 29 - 7
=> 6a = 22
=> a = 22/6
=> a = 11/3
_________________________
5). 4x - 7 = [2(x - 1)]/3
Sol. 4x - 7 = [2(x - 1)]/3
=> 3(4x - 7) = 2x - 2
=> 12x - 21 = 2x - 2
=> 12x - 2x = 21 - 2
=> 10x = 19
=> x = 19/10

Question 1 :
2x + 4 = 30
=> 2x = 30 - 4
=> 2x = 26
=> x = 26/2
=> x = 13
Question 2 :
(x + 4)/7 = (x - 6)/5
=> 7(x - 6) = 5(x + 4)
=> 7x - 42 = 5x + 20
=> 7x - 5x = 20 + 42
=> 2x = 62
=> x = 62/2
=> x = 31
Question 3 :
5(y - 6) = 4(y + 2)
=> 5y - 30 = 4y + 8
=> 5y - 4y = 30 + 8
=> y = 38
Question 4 :
7(a + 1) = a + 29
=> 7a + 7 = a + 29
=> 7a - a = 29 - 7
=> 6a = 22
=> a = 22/6
=> a = 11/3
Question 5 :
4x - 7 = [2(x - 1)]/3
=> 3(4x - 7) = 2x - 2
=> 12x - 21 = 2x - 2
=> 12x - 2x = 21 - 2
=> 10x = 19
=> x = 19/10
