Question

Solve the sum of $8x+\frac{5}{2}=13$.

Answer 1

We have:

$$\begin{gathered} 8x+\frac{5}{2}=13 \\ \Rightarrow 8x=13-\frac{5}{2}[\mathrm{Transposing}\frac{5}{2}\mathrm{to}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{right}] \\ \Rightarrow 8x=\frac{26-5}{2} \\ \Rightarrow 8x=\frac{21}{2} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{21}{16} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $\mathit{x}\mathbf{}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{}\frac{\mathbf{21}}{\mathbf{16}}$ is the solution of given equation.
