Find the value of x in 5x + 2 – 3x = 10
Options
A. 4
B. 3
C. 1
D. None of the above
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
5x + 2 – 3x = 10
5x -3x +2 = 10
2x = 10-2
2x= 8
X= 4
Type 2: Tips and Tricks and Shortcuts for Algebra by Substitution Methods
Question 1.
What is the value of 2 (3a- 5)+ 2b (2- 6b) =10 when a= 2 and b =3?
Options
A. 89
B. 23
C. 18
D. None of the above
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
2 (3a- 5)+ 2(2a- 6b) =10
6a – 10a + 12b = 10
Substituting the values, we get
6 * 2 -10 *2 + 12 *3 = 10
12 – 20 + 36 =10
12 – 20 + 36 -10 = 0
