Question:
Solve each of the following equation and also verify your solution:
$\frac{2 x-1}{3}-\frac{6 x-2}{5}=\frac{1}{3}$
Solution:
$\frac{2 \mathrm{x}-1}{3}-\frac{6 \mathrm{x}-2}{5}=\frac{1}{3}$
or $\frac{10 \mathrm{x}-5-18 \mathrm{x}+6}{15}=\frac{1}{3}$
or $\frac{-8 \mathrm{x}+1}{15}=\frac{1}{3}$
or $-24 \mathrm{x}+3=15$
or $24 \mathrm{x}=3-15$
or $\mathrm{x}=\frac{-12}{24}=\frac{-1}{2}$
Verification :
L.H.S. $=\frac{2 \times \frac{-1}{2}-1}{3}-\frac{6 \times \frac{-1}{2}-2}{5}$
$=\frac{-2}{3}-\frac{-5}{5}$
$=\frac{-2+3}{3}=\frac{1}{3}=$ R. H.S.
