Question

Chapter: Simple linear equations (Answer in steps)

Answer 1

Explanation:

5) a. x/2 = 7-5

x/2 = 2

x = 2×2

x=4

b.4x - 2 = 3x +7

4x - 3x = 7 + 2

x = 9

c. x+2 = 42 × 3

x+2 = 126

x = 124

d. 13x + 260 = 39

13x = 39 - 260

13x = -221

x = -17

6) a. 6x / 7 = 4 +2

6x = 6 × 7

6x = 42

x = 7

b. -49 = 7x + 7

-49 - 7 = 7x

7x = - 56

x = -8

c. -7 + 7x - 21 = 0

7x - 28 = 0

7x = 28

x = 4

d. 8x - 32 + 2 = 42

8x - 30 = 42

8x = 42 + 30

8x = 72

x = 9

e. 5x + 7 = 18

5x = 11

x = 2.5
