Solve 3x-47+73x-4=52
The given equation is 3x-47+73x-4=52
Solving the above equation
3x-47+73x-4=52Consider 3x-47=y⇒y+1y=52⇒2y2-5y+2=0⇒2y2-4y-y+2=0⇒2y(y-2)-1(y-2)=0⇒(2y-1)(y-2)=0⇒either (2y-1)=0 or (y-2)=0⇒y=12,2⇒When y=12, 3x-47=12⇒6x-8=7⇒x=156=52When y=2⇒3x-47=2⇒3x=18⇒x=6
Therefore, the required values are x=52,6
