Question
Solve the following equation.
13x − 5 = `3/2`
Solution
13x − 5 = `3/2`
Multiplying both sides by 2
⇒ 2 (13x − 5) = 2 x `3/2`
⇒ 26x − 10 = 3
Adding 10 on both sides
⇒ 26x − 10 + 10 = 3 + 10
⇒ 26x = 13
Dividing both sides by 26
⇒ `(26"x")/26 = 13/26`
⇒ x =`1/2`
Hence, x = `1/2` is the solution of the equation.
