Answer:
The sum of 3 and twice x equals the quotient of x and 5 .
To find : x .
= x/5 .
= 5(3 + 2x ) = x
= 15 + 10x = x
= 10x - x = -15
= 9x = -15
x = -15/9
x= 5/3.
Verification :
RHS :
= x/5
=(-5/3) × (1/5)
= -1/3
LHS :
= 3 + 2x
= 3 + 2 (-5/3)
= 3 - 10/3
= (9 - 10) / 3
= -1/3
= 4/3.
x = -5/3.
So, It is Verified .
