Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides

Solve 2x - ...

Question

Solve $2 x - 3 = x + 8$

Open in App

Solution

Here we see that both the sides contain algebraic expression.Suppose we subtract $x - 3$ from both the sides. We get
$(2 x - 3) - (x - 3) = (x + 8) - (x - 3)$ or equivalently $x = 11$ .

Q. Solve for x ;

\frac{2^{x - 3}}{8^{- x}} = \frac{32}{4^{(1 / 2) x}}

\frac{x + 1}{2 x + 3} = \frac{3}{8}

2 x - 3 (x + 2) + 8 (2 x - 1) = 0

x :

2 (x + 1) (x + 3) + 8 = (2 x + 1) (x + 5)

x - \frac{2 x + 8}{3} = \frac{1}{4} (x - \frac{2 - x}{6}) - 3
