Question

x/3-2 = x/5+8
pls help​

Answer 1

Answer:

x/3-2=x/5+8

x/3-x/5=8+2

(5x-3x)/15=10

2x=10×15

x=150/2=75

Answer 2

To solve:-

• x/3 -2 = x/5 + 8

SolutioN:-

$\implies \frac{x}{3} - 2 = \frac{x}{5} + 8$

• Collect like terms.

$\implies \frac{x}{3} - \frac{x}{5} = 8 + 2$

$\implies \frac{x}{3} - \frac{5x-3x}{15} = 10$

$\implies \frac{x}{3} - \frac{2x}{15} = 10$

$\implies 2x = 10 \times 15$

$\implies 2x = 150$

$\implies x = \frac{150}{2}$

$\implies x = 75$

Verification:-

$\implies \frac{x}{3} - 2 = \frac{x}{5} + 8$

• Put x = 75

$\implies \frac{75}{3} - 2 = \frac{75}{5} + 8$

$\implies \frac{75-6}{3} = \frac{75+40}{5}$

$\implies \frac{69}{3} = \frac{115}{5}$

$\implies 23 = 23$

Hence, Verified.

Thus , The Value of x is 75.
