Question

In a test Abha gets twice the marks as that of Palak. Two times Abha's marks and three times Palak's marks make 280.

The solution of the equation is ______.

Answer 1

The solution of the equation is 40.

Explanation:

Solve the equation for x,

⇒ 4x + 3x = 280

⇒ 7x = 280

⇒ `(7x)/7 = 280/7`  .....[Dividing both sides by 7]

x = 40

Hence, the solution of the equation is 40.
