Question
Solve the following equation and verify the answer: $\frac{\text{x}}{4}-8=1$

Answer

$\frac{\text{x}}{4}-8=1$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{4}=1+8$ (Transporting $-8$ to $R.H.S.)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{4}=9$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{4}\times4=9\times4$ (Multiplying both sides by $4)$
$\Rightarrow x = 36$
$\therefore \text{x}=36$ is a solution of the given equation.
Substituting $x = 36$ in the given equation,
we get $\text{L.H.S.}=\frac{36}{4}-8=9-8=1$ and $\text{R.H.S.}=1$
$\therefore$ When $x = 36$,
we have $L.H.S. = R.H.S.$
