Question

State true or false. If 9 is the solution of variable x in the equation fraction numerator 5 straight x space minus space 7 space over denominator 2 end fraction space equals space straight y, then the value of y is 28

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

Based on what is stated in the question :

Expressing the worded equation Mathematically,

(5x - 7) / 2 = y

If y = 28

(5x - 7) / 2 = 28

Cross multiply

5x - 7 = 28 * 2

5x - 7 = 56

5x = 56 + 7

5x = 63

x = 63 / 5

x = 12.6

Hence, x ≠ 9
