The equation 4 (x - 2) = 100 is a true equation for a particular value of x. Explain why 2 (x - 2) = 50 is also true for the same value of x.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i. 4 (x - 2) = 100

x-2= 100/4

x-2=25

x=25+2

x=27

ii. 2 (x - 2) = 50

x-2= 50/2

x-2=25

x=25+2

x=27

The equation 4 (x - 2) = 100 is a true equation for x when x = 27

4 (x - 2) = 100

4x - 8 = 100

Collect like terms

4x = 100 - 8

4x = 92

Divide both side by 4

4x/4 = 92/4

x= 27

Also the equation 4 (x - 2) = 100 is the same as 2 (x - 2) = 50 when the former equation is being divided by 2.

Therefore, the equation 4 (x - 2) = 100 is a true equation for x when x = 27
