Question 1 Solve the linear equation
Answer
L.C.M. of the denominators, 2, 3, 4, and 5, is 60.
So Multiplying both sides by 60, we obtain
30
x − 12 = 20
x + 15
Transposing 20x to R.H.S and 12 to L.H.S, we obtain
30
x − 20
x = 15 + 12
10
x = 27
X=27/10=2.7
Question 2 Solve the linear equation
Answer
L.C.M. of the denominators, 2, 4, and 6, is 12.
Multiplying both sides by 12, we obtain

n − 9
n + 10
n = 252
7
n = 252
Dividing by 7 on both the sides
n=36
Question 3- Solve the linear equation
Answer
L.C.M. of the denominators, 2, 3, and 6, is 6.
Multiplying both sides by 6, we obtain
6
x + 42 − 16
x = 17 − 15
x
Transposing 15x to RHS and 42 to LHS
6
x − 16
x + 15
x = 17 − 42
5
x = −25
Dividing by 5 on both the sides
x=-5
Question 4- Solve the linear equation
Answer
L.C.M. of the denominators, 3 and 5, is 15.
Multiplying both sides by 15, we obtain
5(
x − 5) = 3(
x − 3)
5
x − 25 = 3
x − 9
Transposing 3x to RHS and 25 to LHS
5
x − 3
x = 25 − 9
2
x = 16
Dividing both the sides by 2
x=8
Question 5- Solve the linear equation
Answer
L.C.M. of the denominators, 3 and 4, is 12.
Multiplying both sides by 12, we obtain

9
t − 8
t + 12
t = 8 + 6 + 12
13
t = 26
Dividing by 13 on both the sides
t=2
Question 6 Solve the linear equation
Answer
L.C.M. of the denominators, 2 and 3, is 6.
Multiplying both sides by 6, we obtain
6
m − 3(
m − 1) = 6 − 2(
m − 2)
6
m − 3
m + 3 = 6 − 2
m + 4
Transposing 2m to RHS and 3 to LHS
6
m − 3
m + 2
m = 6 + 4 − 3
5
m = 7
Dividing by 5 on both the sides
m=7/5
