Question:

Solve.and check
80 = 10x

Answer:


+80+=+10x+


Divide both sides by 10


==> +80%2F10+=+10x%2F10



==> 8 = x


That is solution is, x = 8.


To check the solution, substitute the value of x = 8 in the given equation....



==> 80 = 10 * 8


==> 80 = 80


That you have got same value on either side of the equality sign.

That is answer is correct.


Hope you found the explanation useful.
