Question

$\frac{4x}{9}-8=8-\frac{5x}{9}$, find $x$.

• A. $-16$
• B. $16$
• C. $9$
• D. $\frac{3}{16}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $16$

Given, $\frac{4x}{9}-8=8-\frac{5x}{9}$.

Transposing $x$ terms to one side, we get,

$⟹\frac{4x}{9}+\frac{5x}{9}=8+8$

$⟹\frac{9x}{9}=16$

$⟹x=16$.

Hence, option $B$ is correct.
