Question

Enter the number that belongs in the green box (please enter both numbers for the empty boxes)

Answer 1

Given:

The equation is:

`5x-2=4+2x`

To find:

The number that belongs in the green box and another box.

Solution:

We have,

`5x-2=4+2x`

Subtracting 2x from both sides, we get

`5x-2-2x=4+2x-2x`

`3x-2=4`

Adding 2 on both sides, we get

`3x-2+2=4+2`

`3x=6`

We need to divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable x.

On dividing both side by 3, we get

`(3x)/(3)=(6)/(3)`

Therefore, the missing values are 3 and 3, and the required equation is
`(3x)/(3)=(6)/(3)`.
