Question

Solve each of the following equations and check your answers:
$x-\frac{3}{5}=\frac{7}{5}$

Answer 1

x − $\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{7}{5}$
Adding $\frac{3}{5}$ to both sides, we get
=> x − $\frac{3}{5}$ + $\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{7}{5}$ + $\frac{3}{5}$
=> x = $\frac{7+3}{5}$
=> x = $\frac{10}{5}$
⇒ x = 2
Verification:
Substituting x = 2 in LHS, we get
LHS = 2 − $\frac{3}{5}$=$\frac{10-3}{5}=\frac{7}{5}$, and RHS = $\frac{7}{5}$
LHS = RHS
Hence, verified.
