Question

What is the solution: 256x + 2 = 43x + 9

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = \bf \frac{7}{213}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution to the equation, we have to rearrange the equation to make $x$ the subject:

$256x + 2 = 43x + 9$

⇒ $256x + 2 - 2 = 43x + 9 - 2$             [Subtracting 2 from both sides]

⇒ $256x = 43x + 7$

⇒ $256x - 43x = 43x + 7 - 43x$           [Subtracting $43x$ from each side]

⇒ $213x = 7$

⇒ $\frac{213}{213}x = \frac{7}{213}$                                       [Diving both sides by 213]

⇒ $x = \bf \frac{7}{213}$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 7/213

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify by removing two on both sides.
256x = 43x + 7
Remove 43x from both sides:
213x = 7
Divide by 213.
213x/213 = 7/213
x = 7/213
