Question

Linear Equations. Solve the equation 10 = 7x - 4 using inverse operations.

Answer 1

The value of x is x = 2

Explanation:

The equation is $10=7x-4$

To solve the equation $10=7x-4$ using inverse operations, let us do the following steps:

Adding 4 on both sides of the equation, we get,

$10+4=7x-4+4$

Simplifying, we get,

$14=7x$

Dividing both sides by 7, we have,

$\frac{14}{7} =\frac{7x}{7}$

Simplifying the terms, we have,

$2=x$

Thus, the value of x is 2.
