Find the value of 'x'. [3 MARKS]
(i) 4x+5=25
(ii) x−213=512
(iii) (7x+8)÷7=8
Each Option: 1 Mark
(i) 4x+5=25
⇒4x=25−5
⇒4x=20
Divide by 4 on both sides,
4x÷4=20÷4
x=5
(ii) x−213=512
⇒x−73=112(Taking LCM of 1 and 3 )
⇒3x−73=112
⇒3x=112×3+7
⇒3x=33+142=472
⇒x=476=756=7.833
(iii) (7x+8)÷7=8
⇒7x+87=8
⇒7x=8×7−8=56−8=48
⇒x=487=667=6.86
