Question
Solve for x:
x+56−x+19=x+34
x+56−x+19=x+34
Answer: Option B
:
B
Given,
x+56−x+19=x+34
Multiplying both sides by 36 (LCM of 4, 6 and 9), we get,
(x+56×36)−(x+19×36)=(x+34×36)
⇒6(x+5)–4(x+1)=9(x+3)
⇒6x+30–4x−4=9x+27
⇒2x+26=9x+27
Transposing 9x from RHS to LHS, and 26 from LHS to RHS, we get,
2x−9x=27−26
⇒−7x=1
Dividing both sides by -7, we get,
x=−17
