Solve: 13x-2=21x+2.(a) 2x+1=0(b) 2x-1= 0(c) 1 + 2x = 0(d) 1 – 2x = 0The question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.This intriguing question comes from Reduce the Given Linear Equations to a Simpler Form topic in section Linear Equations in One Variable of Mathematics – Class 8

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (a) 2x+1=0

The best explanation: 13x-2=21x+2
