Question

Which of the following is the solution of 1/4 x+5=7

Answer 1

Given equation is , $\frac{1}{4}x + 5 = 7$

To find x, first add - 5 on both sides

$\frac{1}{4}x + 5 - 5 = 7 - 5$

$\frac{1}{4}x = 2$

Multiply both side by 4  to isolate x

$4\times \frac{1}{4} x + 5 = 2 \times 4$

$1\times x = 2\times 4$

Now to find x, divide both side by 1

$\frac{1x}{1}= \frac{8}{1}$

x = 8

So option 3 is the answer
