Question

Solve each of the following equations :

$16(x+7)=144$

Answer 1

The given equation is $16(x+7)=144$

Here we need to reduce the equation from both sides,

So, Dividing each side by $16$

$\frac{16(x+7)}{16}=\frac{144}{16}$

$x+7=9$.

Now the equation is of the form $x+a=b$.

So Subtracting $7$ from both the sides,

$x+7-7=9-7$

$x+0=2$

$x=2$.

Final Answer : $x=2$ is the solution of the equation $16(x+7)=144$.
