Question

step by step solution of: 5 + 2 (x-5) = 3 (x-2)​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1

Explanation :

To find :

x

How to find?

→ We shall find x by transposition method.

$5+2(x-5)=3(x-2)$

$\implies{5+2x-10=3x-6}$

$\implies{5-10+6=3x-2x}$

$\implies{11-10=x}$

$\implies{1=x}$

.°. x = 1

Checking :

LHS

→ 5 + 2(x-5)

→ 5 + 2(1-5)

→ 5 + 2 - 10

→ 7 - 10

→ -3

RHS

→ 3(x-2)

→ 3(1-2)

→ 3 - 6

→ -3

.°. LHS = RHS

Hence, x = 1 is the correct solution.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + 2 (x-5) = 3 (x-2)​

5 + 2x - 10 = 3x - 6

5 - 10 + 6 = 3x - 2x

11 - 10 = x

x = 1
