Question

Enter the number that belongs in the green box (please enter both numbers for the empty boxes)

Answer 1

Given:

The equation is:

$5x-2=4+2x$

To find:

The number that belongs in the green box and another box.

Solution:

We have,

$5x-2=4+2x$

Subtracting 2x from both sides, we get

$5x-2-2x=4+2x-2x$

$3x-2=4$

Adding 2 on both sides, we get

$3x-2+2=4+2$

$3x=6$

We need to divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable x.

On dividing both side by 3, we get

$\dfrac{3x}{3}=\dfrac{6}{3}$

Therefore, the missing values are 3 and 3, and the required equation is $\dfrac{3x}{3}=\dfrac{6}{3}$.
