1.	Solve the equations and check your answers:(1/3) – 2x = 0
Answer» Given (1/3) – 2x = 0 Subtract (1/3) from both sides we get, (1/3) – 2x – (1/3) = 0 – (1/3) – 2x = – (1/3) 2x = (1/3) Divide both side by 2 we get, 2x/2 = (1/3)/2 x = (1/6) Verification: Substituting x = (1/6) in LHS we get, (1/3) – 2 (1/6) = 0 (1/3) – (1/3) = 0 0 = 0 Therefore LHS = RHS Hence, verified.

Answer»

Given (1/3) – 2x = 0

Subtract (1/3) from both sides we get,

(1/3) – 2x – (1/3) = 0 – (1/3)

– 2x = – (1/3)

2x = (1/3)

Divide both side by 2 we get,

2x/2 = (1/3)/2

x = (1/6)

Verification:

Substituting x = (1/6) in LHS we get,

(1/3) – 2 (1/6) = 0

(1/3) – (1/3) = 0

0 = 0

Therefore LHS = RHS

Hence, verified.
