((45-2x)3 – (4x+10)9 – (15-14x)5)/45 = 0

(135 – 6x – 36x – 90 – 75 + 70x)/45 = 0

(28x – 30)/45 = 0

After cross-multiplying

28x – 30 = 0

28x = 30

x = 30/28

x = 15/14

Now verify the equation by putting x = 15/14

(45-2x)/15 – (4x+10)/5 = (15-14x)/9

x = 15/14

(45-2(15/14))/15 – (4(15/14) + 10)/5 = (15 – 14(15/14))/9

(45- 15/7)/15 – (30/7 + 10)/5 = (15-15)/9

300/105 – 100/35 = 0

(300-300)/105 = 0

0 = 0

Thus, L.H.S. = R.H.S.,

5(7x+5)/3 – 23/3 = 13 – (4x-2)/3

First rearrange the given equation

(35x + 25)/3 + (4x – 2)/3 = 13 + 23/3

(35x + 25 + 4x – 2)/3 = (39+23)/3

(39x + 23)/3 = 62/3

After cross-multiplying

(39x + 23)3 = 62(3)

39x + 23 = 62

39x = 62 – 23

39x = 39

x = 1

Now verify the equation by putting x = 1

5(7x+5)/3 – 23/3 = 13 – (4x-2)/3

x = 1

(35x + 25)/3 – 23/3 = 13 – (4x-2)/3

22x – 2 = 80

22x = 80+2

22x = 82

x = 82/22

x = 41/11

Now verify the equation by putting x = 41/11

(7x-1)/4 – 1/3(2x – (1-x)/2) = 10/3

x = 41/11

(7x-1)/4 – (5x-1)/6 = 10/3

(7(41/11)-1)/4 – (5(41/11)-1)/6 = 10/3

(287/11 – 1)/4 – (205/11 – 1)/6 = 10/3

(287-11)/44 – (205-11)/66 = 10/3

276/44 – 194/66 = 10/3

69/11 – 97/33 = 10/3

((69×3) – (97×1))/33 = 10/3

(207 – 97)/33 = 10/3

110/33 = 10/3

10/3 = 10/3

Thus, L.H.S. = R.H.S.,

(0.5/0.35)(x – 0.4) – (0.6/0.42)(x – 2.71) = x + 6.1

(x – 0.4)/0.7 – (x – 2.71)/0.7 = x + 6.1

(x – 0.4 – x + 2.71)/0.7 = x + 6.1

-0.4 + 2.71 = 0.7(x + 6.1)

0.7x = 2.71 – 0.4 – 4.27

= -1.96

x = -1.96/0.7

x = -2.8

Now verify the equation by putting x = 5

0.5(x-0.4)/0.35 – 0.6(x-2.71)/0.42 = x + 6.1

(19.5x – 32.5)/2 – (13x – 26)/2 = 13

(19.5x – 32.5 – 13x + 26)/2 = 13

(6.5x – 6.5)/2 = 13

6.5x – 6.5 = 13×2

6.5x – 6.5 = 26

6.5x = 26+6.5

6.5x = 32.5

x = 32.5/6.5

x = 5

Now verify the equation by putting x = 5

6.5x + (19.5x – 32.5)/2 = 6.5x + 13 + (13x – 26)/2

x= 5

6.5(5) + (19.5(5) – 32.5)/2 = 6.5(5) + 13 + (13(5) – 26)/2

32.5 + (97.5 – 32.5)/2 = 32.5 + 13 + (65 – 26)/2

32.5 + 65/2 = 45.5 + 39/2

(65 + 65)/2 = (91+39)/2

First simplify the given equation

9x2 + 6x – 24x – 16 – 8x2 – 4x + 22x + 11 = x2 + 7x – 3x – 21

9x2 + 6x – 24x – 16 – 8x2 – 4x + 22x + 11 – x2 – 7x + 3x + 21 = 0

9x2 – 8x2 – x2 + 6x – 24x – 4x + 22x – 7x + 3x – 16 + 21 + 11 = 0

-4x + 16 = 0

-4x = -16

x = 4

Now verify the equation by putting x = 4

(3x – 8) (3x + 2) – (4x – 11) (2x + 1) = (x – 3) (x + 7)

x = 4

(3(4) – 8) (3(4) + 2) – (4(4) – 11) (2(4) + 1) = (4 – 3) (4 + 7)

(12-8) (12+2) – (16-11) (8+1) = 1(11)

4 (14) – 5(9) = 11

56 – 45 = 11

11 = 11

[(2x+3) + (x+5)]- + [(2x+3) – (x+5)]2 = 10x2 + 92

First simplify the given equation

[3x + 8]2 + [x – 2]2 = 10x2 + 92

Now apply the formula (a+b)2

9x2 + 48x + 64 + x2 – 4x + 4 = 10x2 + 92

After rearranging the equation

9x2 – 10x2 + x2 + 48x – 4x = 92 – 64 – 4

44x = 24

x = 24/44

x = 6/11

Now verify the equation by putting x = 6/11

[(2x+3) + (x+5)]2 + [(2x+3) – (x+5)]2 = 10x2 + 92

x = 6/11

[2(6/11) + 3 + (6/11) + 5]2 + [2(6/11) + 3 – (6/11) – 5]2 = 10(6/11)2 + 92

[(12/11 + 3) + (6/11 + 5)]2 + [(12/11 + 3) – (6/11 + 5)]2 = 10(6/11)2 + 92

[(12+33)/11 + (6+55)/11]2 + [(12+33)/11- (6+55)/11]2 = 10(6/11)2 + 92

[(45/11)+ (61/11)]2 + [(45/11) – (61/11)]2 = 360/121 + 92

(106/11)2 + (-16/11)2 = (360 + 11132)/121

11236/121 + 256/121 = 11492/121

11492/121 = 11492/121
