Question

I need a bit of help please I am confused

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

5x / -6 = -40 / 3

Cross multiply

5x * 3 = -6 * -40

15x = 240

x = 16

Answer 2

The value of x is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

`\star{\tt{\underline{\underline{\purple{CONCEPT : -}}}}}`

Here, we will use the below following steps to find a solution using the transposition method:

• Step 1 :- we will Identify the variables and constants in the given simple equation.
• Step 2 :- then we Simplify the equation in LHS and RHS.
• Step 3 :- Transpose or shift the term on the other side to solve the equation further simplest.
• Step 4 :- Simplify the equation using arithmetic operation as required that is mentioned in rule 1 or rule 2 of linear equations.
• Step 5 :- Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation.

`\star{\tt{\underline{\underline{\pink{SOLUTION : -}}}}}`

Solve for X.

`\implies{\sf{(5x)/( - 6) = ( - 40)/(3)}}`

Enter your answer is the box.

`\begin{gathered}\qquad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{(5x)/( - 6) = ( - 40)/(3)}}}\\\\\qquad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{5x * 3 = - 40 * - 6}}}\\\\\qquad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{15x = 240}}}\\\\\qquad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{x = (240)/(15)}}}\\\\\qquad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{x = \cancel{(240)/(15)}}}}\\\\\qquad{\dashrightarrow{\sf{x = 16}}}\\\\\qquad\star{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\red{x = 16}}}}}\end{gathered}`

Hence, the value of x is 16.

`\rule{300}{2.5}`
