Question
$\frac{3}{2}$ is the solution of the equation $8x - 5 = 7.$
✓
Answer
Solve the equation for $x,$
$\Rightarrow8\text{x}-5=7$
$\Rightarrow8\text{x}=7+5[ $transposing $(-5)$ to $RHS]$
$\Rightarrow8\text{x}=12$
$\Rightarrow\frac{8\text{x}}{8}=\frac{12}{8} [$dividing both sides by $8]$
$\text{x}=\frac{3}{2}$
$\Rightarrow8\text{x}-5=7$
$\Rightarrow8\text{x}=7+5[ $transposing $(-5)$ to $RHS]$
$\Rightarrow8\text{x}=12$
$\Rightarrow\frac{8\text{x}}{8}=\frac{12}{8} [$dividing both sides by $8]$
$\text{x}=\frac{3}{2}$
