Question

12/7(x-5)=24+8x find value of x

Answer 1

12/7(x-5) = 24+8x
7×12/7(x-5) = 7×24+7×8x
12(x-5) = 168+56x
12x-60 = 168+56x
12x-56x=168+60
-44x = 228
x/-44 = 228/-44
∴x=-5.18

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

solution----->

Given :-

$\frac{12}{7} (x - 5) = 24 + 8x \\ \\ to \: find \: the \: value \: of \: x \\ \\ we \: can \: apply \: bodmas \: rule \\ \\ we \: get \\ \\ 12(x - 5) = 7(24 + 8x) \\ \\ 12x - 60 = 168 + 56x \\ \\ 12x - 56x = 168 + 60 \\ \\ - 44x = 228 \\ \\ x = \frac{228}{- 44} \\ \\ x = 5.1</strong><strong>8</strong><strong>$
