Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.

$\frac{3}{2}$ is the solution of the equation $8x-5=7$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Given $8x-5=7$

Transpose $\text{'}5\text{'}$on R.H.S

$$\begin{gathered} 8x=7+5 \\ 8x=12 \\ x=\frac{{\displaystyle \stackrel{3}{\cancel{12}}}}{{\displaystyle \underset{2}{\cancel{8}}}} \end{gathered}$$

$\therefore x=\frac{3}{2}$

Therefore $\frac{3}{2}$is a solution.

Hence the given statement is true.
