Question

Help! select the correct answer

Answer 1

The equation that gives 8 for the value of x is

`(5)/(4) x - 2 = (3)/(2) x - 4`

( option C)

In the equation , the value of x must satisfy the equation, this means that when we insert the value of x , the two sides must equate.

The equation in option D will give the value of x to be 8.

checking;

`(5)/(4) x - 2 = (3)/(2) x - 4`

multiply all terms by 4

= 5x - 8 = 6x -16

5x - 6x = -16+8

-x = -8

x = 8

Therefore, the equation in option C will give x as 8.
