Question

a) x/8 = 3/4 +  -5/8

b) x/12 = 3/4 +  -2/3

c) 1 + 11/13 = 24/x

d) x/6 - 3/4 = 1/12

 

Answer 1

`x/8 = 3/4 +(-5/8)`

`=>x/8 = 6/8 +(-5/8)`

`=>x/8 = 1/8`

`=>x=1`

`-----`

`x/12 =3/4 +(-2/3)`

`=>x/12 = 9/12 + (-8/12)`

`=> x/12=1/12`

`=>x=1`

`----`

`1+11/13=24/x`

`=> 13/13 +11/13=24/x`

`=> 24/13 =24/x`

`=>x=13`

`----`

`x/6 -3/4=1/12`

`=>x/6 = 1/12 +3/4`

`=>x/6 = 1/12 + 9/12`

`=>x/6 = 10/12`

`=>x/6= 5/6`

`=>x=5`

Answer 2

\(a)\)

\(\dfrac{x}{8}=\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{-5}{8}\)

\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{x}{8}=\dfrac{1}{8}\)

\(\Rightarrow x.8=1.8\)

\(\Rightarrow x.8=8\)

\(\Rightarrow x=8:8\)

\(\Rightarrow x=1\)

\(b)\)

\(\dfrac{x}{12}=\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{-2}{3}\)

\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{x}{12}=\dfrac{1}{12}\)

\(\Rightarrow x.12=1.12\)

\(\Rightarrow x.12=12\)

\(\Rightarrow x=12:12\)

\(\Rightarrow x=1\)

\(c)\)

\(1+\dfrac{11}{13}=\dfrac{24}{x}\)

\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{24}{13}=\dfrac{24}{x}\)

\(\Rightarrow x.24=24.13\)

\(\Rightarrow x.24=312\)

\(\Rightarrow x=312:24\)

\(\Rightarrow x=13\)

\(d)\)

\(\dfrac{x}{6}-\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{1}{12}\)

\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{x}{6}=\dfrac{1}{12}+\dfrac{3}{4}\)

\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{x}{6}=\dfrac{5}{6}\)

\(\Rightarrow x.6=5.6\)

\(\Rightarrow x.6=30\)

\(\Rightarrow x=30:6\)

\(\Rightarrow x=5\)
