Answer
(i) Given x + 6 = 8
⇒ x = 8 − 6 [Transposing +6 to RHS]
∴ x = 2
(ii) Given x − 2 = −5
⇒ x = −5 + 2 [Transposing −2 to RHS]
∴ x = −3
(iii) Given 4x = 6
⇒ [Dividing both sides by 4]
∴ x =
(iv) Given
⇒ x = 5 × 2
∴ x = 10
(v) Given 2y − 3 = 2
⇒ 2y = 2 + 3 [Transposing −3 to RHS]
⇒ 2y = 5
⇒ [Dividing both sides by 2]
∴ y =
(vi) Given 5y + 2 = 4
⇒ 5y = 4 − 2 [Transposing +2 to RHS]
⇒ 5y = 2
⇒ [Dividing both sides by 5]
∴ y =
