Solve the equations and check your answers:(4/5) – x = (3/5)

1.	Solve the equations and check your answers:(4/5) – x = (3/5)
Answer» Given (4/5) – x = (3/5) Subtracting (4/5) from both sides, we get (4/5) – x – (4/5) = (3/5) – (4/5) – x = (3 -4)/5 – x = (-1/5) x = (1/5) Verification: Substituting x = (1/5) in LHS we get (4/5) – (1/5) = (3/5) (4 -1)/5 = (3/5) (3/5) = (3/5) Therefore LHS =RHS Hence, verified.

Answer»

Given (4/5) – x = (3/5)

Subtracting (4/5) from both sides, we get

(4/5) – x – (4/5) = (3/5) – (4/5)

– x = (3 -4)/5

– x = (-1/5)

x = (1/5)

Verification:

Substituting x = (1/5) in LHS we get

(4/5) – (1/5) = (3/5)

(4 -1)/5 = (3/5)

(3/5) = (3/5)

Therefore LHS =RHS

Hence, verified.
