Question

Solve the following to find the value of the variables.

$\frac{\text{5x - 4}}{\text{3}}\text{= 7}$.

Answer 1

The given equation is $\frac{\text{5x - 4}}{\text{3}}\text{= 7}$

$\frac{\text{5x -4}}{\text{3}}\text{= 7}$

$\text{5x - 4 = 7 ×3}$

$\text{5x - 4 = 21}$

$\text{5x = 21 +4}$

$\text{5x = 25}$

$\text{x =}\frac{\text{25}}{\text{5}}$

$\text{x = 5}$

Hence the value of $\text{x is 5}$
