How can I solve 5(x-4)=3x-6

2 answers:

4 0

you can solve this by distributing the 5 so it would be 5x-20=3x-6 then add 20 to both sides and you get 5x=3x+14 then subtract 3x from both sides to get 2x=14 then divide both sides by 2 to get x=7

The answer is x=7

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First expand the expression in the LHS. Then we get

5x - 20 = 3x - 6

5x - 3x - 20 = 3x - 3x - 6 subtract 3x from both sides.

2x -20 + 20 = 20 - 6 add 20 to both sides

2x = 14

2x/2 = 14/2 divide both sides by 2

x = 7

hope it helps and if it does, please mark me brainliest...

The value of

marusya05 [52]

$\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

We have to find out the value of the fraction.

Let us assume that:

$\sf \longmapsto x =2 + \dfrac{1}{2 + \dfrac{1}{2 + \dfrac{1}{2 + ... \infty} } }$

We can also write it as:

$\sf \longmapsto x =2 + \dfrac{1}{x}$

$\sf \longmapsto x =\dfrac{2x + 1}{x}$

$\sf \longmapsto {x}^{2} =2x + 1$

$\sf \longmapsto {x}^{2} - 2x - 1 = 0$

Comparing the given equation with ax² + bx + c = 0, we get:

$\sf \longmapsto\begin{cases} \sf a =1 \\ \sf b = - 2 \\ \sf c = - 1 \end{cases}$

By quadratic formula:

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm \sqrt{ {( - 2)}^{2} - 4(1)( - 1)} }{2 \times 1}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm \sqrt{4 + 4} }{2 \times 1}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm \sqrt{8} }{2}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \dfrac{2 \pm2 \sqrt{2} }{2}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = 1 \pm\sqrt{2}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = \begin{cases} \sf 1 + \sqrt{2} \\ \sf 1 - \sqrt{2} \end{cases}$

But "x" cannot be negative. Therefore:

$\sf :\implies x = 1 + \sqrt{2}$

So, the value of the fraction is 1 + √2.
