Solve the equation. Check your solution.

x-6.7=5.8

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution for the inequality is x=12.5.

Step by step solution

01

Step -1 - Apply the concept of Linear equation

In this type of question, Simply use the property of addition or subtraction of suitable number on both Left Hand Side & Right Hand Sideto maintain the equality and to check put the number in the equation and if Left Hand Side & Right Hand Side is same then the value is correct.

02

Step -2 – Find the value of x by solving the inequality

Since, the equation is x-6.7=5.8.

Here, to simplify this equation, adding 6.7to both side on the above

x−6.7=5.8x−6.7+6.7=5.8+6.7x=12.5

03

Step -3 – Check the equation by putting the solution

Now, let take Left hand side first, x-6.7=5.8

Put x=12.5in the above equation

L.H.S:=x−6.7=12.5−6.7=5.8=R.H.S

Hence, Left Hand Side is equal to Right Hand Side. So, the solution is correct.
