Question 2 - Page 184 Using this formula can you solve this equation 2x + 3 = 4x + 5?Given equation 2x + 3 = 4x + 5 Comparing equation with Ax + B = Cx + D Thus, A = 2 B = 3 C = 4 D = 5 And, our solution is x = (๐ท โ ๐ต)/(๐ด โ ๐ถ) x = (๐ โ ๐)/(๐ โ ๐) x = 2/(โ4 + 2) x = 2/(โ(4โ2)) x = ๐/(โ๐) x = (โ2)/2 x = โ1 Thus, value of x is โ1
