Question
Solve the following equation and verify the answer: $\frac{\text{3x}}{5}=15$
✓
Answer
$\frac{\text{3x}}{5}=15$ $\Rightarrow\frac{\text{3x}}{5}\times5=15\times5$ [Multiplying both the sides by 5] $\Rightarrow \text{3x}=75$ $\Rightarrow\frac{\text{3x}}{3}=\frac{75}{3}$ [Dividing both sides by 3] $\Rightarrow\text{x}=25$ Verification: Substituting x = 25 in the L.H.S.$\Rightarrow\frac{3\times25}{3}=15=\text{R.H.S.}$
$\Rightarrow\text{L.H.S.}=\text{R.H.S.}$
Hence, verified.
$\Rightarrow\text{L.H.S.}=\text{R.H.S.}$
Hence, verified.
