1.	Fill in the blanks to make each statement true.If (2/5)x – 2 = 5 – (3/5)x, then x = _________.
Answer» If (2/5)x – 2 = 5 – (3/5)x, then x = 7 Given, (2/5)x – 2 = 5 – (3/5)x Transposing -2 to RHS and it becomes 2 and (3/5)x to LHS it becomes –(3/5)x. (2/5)x + (3/5)x = 5 + 2 (2x + 3x)/5 = 7 5x = 7 × 5 x = 35/5 x = 7

Fill in the blanks to make each statement true.If (2/5)x – 2 = 5 – (3/5)x, then x = _________.

Answer»

If (2/5)x – 2 = 5 – (3/5)x, then x = 7

Given,

(2/5)x – 2 = 5 – (3/5)x

Transposing -2 to RHS and it becomes 2 and (3/5)x to LHS it becomes –(3/5)x.

(2/5)x + (3/5)x = 5 + 2

(2x + 3x)/5 = 7

5x = 7 × 5

x = 35/5

x = 7
