Question
Solve the following equations :
$3 x=2 x+18$
$3 x=2 x+18$
✓
Answer
We have,
$3 x=2 x+18$
$\Rightarrow 3 x-2 x=18 \quad[$transposing $2 x$ to LHS$]$
$\therefore x=18$, which is the required solution.
Check For $x=18$,
$3 x=2 x+18$
$\Rightarrow \quad 3 x-2 x=18$
LHS = $3(18)-2(18)$
$=54-36=18=$ RHS
$\therefore \quad \text{LHS = RHS} \quad$ [as required]
$3 x=2 x+18$
$\Rightarrow 3 x-2 x=18 \quad[$transposing $2 x$ to LHS$]$
