Question

Find the value of $x$ in the equation
$\frac{x}{3}+4=2$

• A. 6
• B. - 6
• C. - 5
• D. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is B

- 6

The given equation is $\frac{x}{3}+4=2$.

Subtracting 4 from LHS and RHS we get,

$\frac{x}{3}+4-4=2-4\frac{x}{3}=-2$

Multiplying both LHS and RHS by 3, we get,

$\frac{x}{3}\times 3=-2\times 3$
$x=-6$

So, the value of $x$ is $-6$.
