Question

In the given equation $\frac{10x}{2}+x=9x+5$, the value of $x$ is .

• A. $\frac{5}{3}$
• B. $-\frac{5}{3}$
• C. $\frac{5}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $-\frac{5}{3}$

Solving the given equation,
$\Rightarrow \frac{10x}{2}+x=9x+5$,
$\Rightarrow \frac{10x}{2}+x-9x=5$
$\Rightarrow \frac{10x}{2}-8x=5$
$\Rightarrow \frac{10x}{2}-\frac{16x}{2}=5$
$\Rightarrow -\frac{6x}{2}=5$
$\Rightarrow -3x=5$
$\Rightarrow x=-\frac{5}{3}$
