Question

The solution ofthe equation 5(x - 6) = 80 is 24.

Answer 1

Given: The equation is$5(x - 6) = 80$.

We have to find the solution to the equation.

We are solving in the following way:

• For this first, we will Identify the variables and constants in the given equation.
• And then we Simplify the equation in LHS and RHS.
• Then we will transpose or shift the term on the other side to solve the equation further simplest.
• After that, we will Simplify the equation using arithmetic operation as required that is mentioned in the above rule of the linear equations.
• Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation.

Now by using the transposition method:

We have,

The equation is$5(x - 6) = 80$

$\Rightarrow5x-30=80\\\Rightarrow5x=80+30\\\Rightarrow5x=110\\\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{110}{5}$

Solving the above equation further we get,

$x=22$

Hence, the solution of the equation is$22$.

So, the given statement is false.
