Question 15 Marks
Solve the following equation and verify the answer: $\frac{\text{3x}}{10}-4=14$
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 $\text{L.H.S.}=\frac{3\times60}{10}-4=(3\times6)-4$
​​​​​​​ $= 18 - 4 = 14$ and $R.H.S. = 14$
$\therefore$ When $x = 60$

Question 25 Marks
Solve the following equation and verify the answer:
$\frac{\text{2x}}{5}-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{\text{x}}{2}+1$
Answer
$\frac{\text{2x}}{5}-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{\text{x}}{2}+1$
Multiplying each term by $10$, the $L.C.M$. of $5$ and $2,$
we get $\frac{\text{2x}}{5}\times10-\frac{3}{2}\times10$
$=\frac{\text{x}}{2}\times10+1\times10$
$\Rightarrow 4x - 15 = 5x + 10$
$\Rightarrow 4x - 5x = 10 + 15$
(transposing $5x$ to $L.H.S.)$
$\Rightarrow -x = 25$
$\Rightarrow x = -25$
(multiplying both sides by$ -1)$
So, $x = -25$ is a solution of the given equation.
Check: Substituting $x = -25$ in the given equation, we get
$\text{L.H.S.}=\frac{2\times(-25)}{5}-\frac{3}{2}=-10-\frac{3}{2}$
$=\frac{-20-3}{2}=\frac{-23}{2}$
$\text{R.H.S.}=\frac{-25}{2}+1=\frac{-25+2}{2}=\frac{-23}{2}$
$\therefore$ When$ x = -25$, we have
$L.H.S. = R.H.S.$

$\Rightarrow 6 - 24x + 14 + 35x = 53$ (Removing brackets)
$\Rightarrow -24x + 35x + 14 + 6 = 53 $
$\Rightarrow 11x + 20 = 53 $
$\Rightarrow 11x = 53 - 20 $
$\Rightarrow 11x = 33$ (Transposing $20$ to $R.H.S.)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{11x}}{11}=\frac{33}{11}$(Dividing both sides by $11)$
$\Rightarrow x = 3$
So, $x = 3$ is a solution of the given equation.
Check: Substituting $x = 3$ in the given equation,
we get, $L.H.S. = 6 (1 - 4 \times 3) + 7(2 + 5 \times 3)$
$= 6(1 - 12) + 7(2 + 15)$
$= 6 \times (-11) + 7 \times 17$
$= -66 + 119 = 53$
$= R.H.S.$
$\therefore$ When $x = 3,$

$\Rightarrow 5(x - 1) + 2(x + 3) = -6$ (Transposing $6$ to $R.H.S.)$
$\Rightarrow 5x - 5 + 2x + 6 = -6$ (Removing brackets)
$\Rightarrow 5x + 2x - 5 + 6 = -6$
$\Rightarrow 7x + 1 = -6$
$\Rightarrow 7x = -6 - 1$ (Transposing $1$ to $R.H.S.)$
$\Rightarrow 7x = -7$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{7x}}{7}=\frac{-7}{7}$(Dividing both sides by $7)$
$\Rightarrow x = -1$
So, $x = -1$ is a solution of the given equation.
Check: Substituting $x = -1$ in the given equation,
we get $L.H.S. = 5(-1 - 1) + 2(-1 + 3) + 6$
$= 5 \times (-2) + 2 \times 2 + 6 = 10+ 4 +6$
$= -10 + 10 = 0 = R.H.S$

Multiplying each term by $6$, the $L.C.M$. of $2$ and $3,$
we get $\frac{\text{2m}}{3}\times6+8\times6=\frac{\text{m}}{2}\times6-1\times6$
$\Rightarrow 4m + 48 = 3m - 6$
$\Rightarrow 4m - 3m = -6 - 48$ (Transposing $3m$ to $L.H.S$. and $48$ to $R.H.S.)$
$\Rightarrow m = -54$
So, $m = -54$ is a solution of the given equation.
Check: Substituting $m = -54$ in the given equation,
​​​​​​​we get$\text{L.H.S.}=\frac{-54}{2}-1=-27-1=-28$

$\frac{\text{n}}{4}-5=\frac{\text{n}}{6}+\frac{1}{2}$
Multiplying each term by $12$, the $L.C.M.$ of $4, 6, 2$, we get
$\frac{\text{n}}{4}\times12-5\times12$
$=\frac{\text{n}}{6}\times12+\frac{1}{2}\times12$
$\Rightarrow 3n - 60 = 2n + 6$
$\Rightarrow 3n - 2n = 6 + 60$
(Transposing $2n$ to $L.H.S$. and $-60$ to $R.H.S.)$
$\Rightarrow n = 66$
So, $n = 66$ is a solution of the given equation.
Check: Substituting $n = 66$ in the given equation, we get
$\text{L.H.S.}=\frac{66}{4}-5=\frac{33}{2}-5$
$=\frac{33-10}{2}=\frac{23}{2}$
$\text{R.H.S.}=\frac{66}{6}+\frac{1}{2}=11+\frac{1}{2}$
