Solution

The correct option is B -25
$0.15 (2 x - 5) = 0.65 x + 8$

$\Rightarrow 4 \times 0.15 (2 x - 5) = 4 \times (0.65 x + 8)$

$\Rightarrow 1.2 x - 3 = 2.6 x + 32$

$\Rightarrow x = - 25$

Question 70

Solve the following:

0.25(4x-5)=0.75x+8

- 8 < - (3 x - 5) < 13

\sqrt{2 x + 5} = 8 - \sqrt{x - 1}

\sqrt{- x^{2} + 6 x - 5} > 8 - 2 x .
