Mathematics Question on Solving Equations having the Variable on both Sides
Solve and check result: 2x−1=14−x
Answer
2x−1=14−x
Transposing x to L.H.S and 1 to R.H.S, we obtain
2x+x=14+1
3x=15
Dividing both sides by 3, we obtain
x=5
⇒ L.H.S = 2x−1
= 2×(5)−1
= 10−1=9
⇒ R.H.S = 14−x
= 14−5=9
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, the result obtained above is correct.
