Question

What is the value of X in the qution:

13(6x-8)=5x-6
A)98/83
B)110/73
C)-98/73
D)98/73

Answer 1

(D) 98/73

Explanation:

13(6x-8) = 5x-6

First,u expand the bracket, which gives u:

13 times 6x minus 13 (times) -8. Represented figuratively as:

13(x)6x - 13(x)-8 = 5x-6

⏩ 78x - 104 = 5x-6

Then,u collect like terms

78x - 5x = -6+104. (Note: the sign changes when it passes d equal to(=) sign)

73x = 98. (Note: Since 73 is carrying d variable x,we divide both side by 73)

Therefore,the answer = 98/73
