Question

Solve each of the following equations and verify the answer in each case:
$\frac{3x}{5}=15$

Answer 1

$\frac{3x}{5}=15$
⇒ $\frac{3x}{5}\times 5=15\times 5$ [Multiplying both the sides by 5]
⇒ 3x = 75
⇒ $\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{75}{3}$
⇒ x = 25
Verification:
Substituting x = 25 in the L.H.S.:
⇒ $\frac{3\times 25}{5}$ = 15 = R.H.S.
⇒ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, verified.
