Answer
View full question & answer→$\frac{\text{3x}}{10}-4=14$ $\Rightarrow\frac{\text{3x}}{10}=14+4$(Transposing -4 to R.H.S.)
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{3x}}{10}=18$ $\Rightarrow\frac{\text{3x}}{10}\times=18\times10$(Multiplying both sides by 10)
$\Rightarrow3x=180\Rightarrow\frac{\text{3x}}{3}=\frac{180}{3}$(Dividing both sides by 3)
$\Rightarrow \text{x}=60$ So, $\text{x}=60$ is a solution of the given equation. Check: Substituting $\text{x}=60$ in the given equation, we get $\text{L.H.S.}=\frac{3\times60}{10}-4=(3\times6)-4$ = 18 - 4 = 14and R.H.S. = 14
$\therefore$ When x = 60, we have L.H.S. = R.H.S.
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{3x}}{10}=18$ $\Rightarrow\frac{\text{3x}}{10}\times=18\times10$(Multiplying both sides by 10)
$\Rightarrow3x=180\Rightarrow\frac{\text{3x}}{3}=\frac{180}{3}$(Dividing both sides by 3)
$\Rightarrow \text{x}=60$ So, $\text{x}=60$ is a solution of the given equation. Check: Substituting $\text{x}=60$ in the given equation, we get $\text{L.H.S.}=\frac{3\times60}{10}-4=(3\times6)-4$ = 18 - 4 = 14and R.H.S. = 14
$\therefore$ When x = 60, we have L.H.S. = R.H.S.
