Question

Drag each equation to the correct location on the table.

Match the equations with the value of x that makes them true.
5x - 2x - 4 = 5
5x - (3x - 1) = 7
x + 2x + 3 = 9
2(2x - 3) = 6
4x - (2x + 1) = 3
5(x + 3) = 25
x = 2
X = 3

Answer 1

The answer to your questions are given below.

Explanation:

To answer the question given above, we shall determine the value of x in each equation. This can be obtained as follow:

5x - 2x - 4 = 5

3x - 4 = 5

Collect like terms

3x = 5 + 4

3x = 9

Divide both side by 3

x = 9/3

x = 3

5x - (3x - 1) = 7

Clear the bracket

5x - 3x + 1 = 7

2x + 1 = 7

Collect like terms

2x = 7 - 1

2x = 6

Divide both side by 2

x = 6/2

x = 3

x + 2x + 3 = 9

3x + 3 = 9

Collect like terms

3x = 9 - 3

3x = 6

Divide both side by 3

x = 6/3

x = 2

2(2x - 3) = 6

Clear the bracket

4x - 6 = 6

Collect like terms

4x = 6 + 6

4x = 12

Divide both side by 4

x = 12/4

x = 3

4x - (2x + 1) = 3

Clear the bracket

4x - 2x - 1 = 3

2x - 1 = 3

Collect like terms

2x = 3 + 1

2x = 4

Divide both side by 2

x = 4/2

x = 2

5(x + 3) = 25

Clear the bracket

5x + 15 = 25

Collect like terms

5x = 25 - 15

5x = 10

Divide both side by 5

x = 10/5

x = 2

SUMMARY:

x = 2

x + 2x + 3 = 9

4x - (2x + 1) = 3

5(x + 3) = 25

x = 3

5x - 2x - 4 = 5

5x - (3x - 1) = 7

2(2x - 3) = 6
