(a) Construct 3 equations starting with x = 2

(b) Construct 3 equations starting with x = -2

Answer:

(a)  x = 2

Multiplying both sides by 5, we get

5x - 10              ...(i)

Subtracting 3 from both sides,

5x - 3 - 10 - 3

5x - 3 =7                      ..(ii)

Dividing both sides by 2, we get

\[\frac{5x}{2}-\frac{3}{2}=~\frac{7}{2}\]          ?(iii)

(b)    x = -2

Subtract 2 from both sides,

x ? 2 = - 2 - 2

x ? 2 = - 4           ...(i)

Again,     x = - 2

Multiplying by 6,

\[6x=-2\times 6\]

6x -12

Subtracting 12 from both sides,

6x - 12 = - 12 - 12

6x-12--24           ...(ii)

Adding 24 to both sides,

6x - 12 + 24 = - 24 + 24

6x+12=0          ...(iii)
