Question

Solve fraction numerator x minus 8 over denominator 3 end fraction equals fraction numerator x minus 3 over denominator 5 end fraction

hintHint:

solve the given equation for x .

The correct answer is: x = 15.5


    Ans :- x = 15.5
    Explanation :-
    5 left parenthesis x minus 8 right parenthesis equals 3 left parenthesis x minus 3 right parenthesis not stretchy rightwards double arrow 5 x minus 40 equals 3 x minus 9
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow 5 x minus 3 x equals 40 minus 9 not stretchy rightwards double arrow 2 x equals 31
     therefore space x equals space 15.5

    In the xy-plane, the point (2, 6) lies on the graph of y equals k over x   where k is a constant. Which of the following points must also lie on the graph?

    Note:
    Whenever there is an unknown constant in the given equation, we must always try to find the value of that constant first with the help of the given conditions. Another way to solve this question is; observe that the equation can be written as x y = k , that is, the product of the x co-ordinate and y co-ordinate always remains a constant. As the point (2, 6) satisfies it, we get that constant to be 12. So we check for which of the points in the options, the product of x co-ordinate and y co-ordinate is 12.
