Q41 of 113 Page 110

State whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

In the equation 2x = 4 – x, transposing – x to LHS, we get x = 4.

False

Given equation is,


⇒ 2x = 4-x


⇒ Transposing – x to LHS


⇒ 2x + x = 4


⇒ 3x = 4



⇒ Thus we can see that on transposing – x to LHS we get .


⇒ Hence, it is not true.
