Question

State whether the 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 " $\frac{3}{2}$ is the solution of the equation $8x–5=7$".

Solve the expression $8x–5=7$:

$$\begin{gathered} 8x–5=7 \\ \Rightarrow 8x=7+5 \\ \Rightarrow 8x=12 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{12}{8} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the given statement is “True” because $\frac{3}{2}$ is the solution to the equation $8x–5=7$.
