Question

Simplify: \(\frac{13x-1}{12}\)=12.

(a) x=\(\frac{13}{145}\)

(b) 13x+145=0

(c) 13x=145

(d) 145x+13=0

This question was addressed to me at a job interview.

My query is from Reduce the Given Linear Equations to a Simpler Form in section Linear Equations in One Variable of Mathematics – Class 8

Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) 13x=145

Explanation: \(\frac{13x-1}{12}\)=12

∴ 13x-1=144

∴ 13x=145

∴ x=\(\frac{145}{13}\).
