Question

Given: 8x-61=17, prove: 39/4

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution is $x = \frac{39}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation:

8x - 61 = 17

We want to find the solution, that is, the value of x. So

$8x - 61 = 17$

$8x = 78$

$x = \frac{78}{8}$

Simplifying by 2

$x = \frac{39}{4}$

The solution is $x = \frac{39}{4}$
