Question

The value of $x$ in the equation $16(x+7)=144$ is _______ .

• A. $2$
• B. $1$
• C. $0$
• D. $3$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$2$

$\Rightarrow$ $16(x+7)=144$

$\Rightarrow$ $16x+112=144$

$\Rightarrow$ $16x=144-112$

$\Rightarrow$ $16x=32$

$\Rightarrow$ $x=\frac{32}{16}$

$\therefore$ $x=2$

$\therefore$ The value of $x$ in the equation $16(x+7)=144$ is $2$.
