Solve the equation and verify your answer:(15(2-x) – 5(x+6)) / (1-3

1.	Solve the equation and verify your answer:(15(2-x) – 5(x+6)) / (1-3x) = 10
Answer» We have, 15(2-x) – 5(x+6) / (1-3x) = 10 (30-15x) – (5x + 30) / (1-3x) = 10 By cross-multiplying we get, (30-15x) – (5x + 30) = 10(1- 3x) 30- 15x – 5x – 30 = 10 – 30x 30- 15x – 5x – 30 + 30x = 10 10x = 10 x = 10/10 = 1 Now let us verify the given equation, (15(2-x) – 5(x+6)) / (1-3x) = 10 By substituting the value of ‘x’ we get, (15(2-1) – 5(1+6)) / (1- 3) = 10 (15 – 5(7))/-2 = 10 (15-35)/-2 = 10 -20/-2 = 10 10 = 10 Hence, the given equation is verified.

Answer»

We have,

15(2-x) – 5(x+6) / (1-3x) = 10

(30-15x) – (5x + 30) / (1-3x) = 10

By cross-multiplying we get,

(30-15x) – (5x + 30) = 10(1- 3x)

30- 15x – 5x – 30 = 10 – 30x

30- 15x – 5x – 30 + 30x = 10

10x = 10

x = 10/10

= 1

Now let us verify the given equation,

(15(2-x) – 5(x+6)) / (1-3x) = 10

By substituting the value of ‘x’ we get,

(15(2-1) – 5(1+6)) / (1- 3) = 10

(15 – 5(7))/-2 = 10

(15-35)/-2 = 10

-20/-2 = 10

10 = 10

Hence, the given equation is verified.
