Question

5x+½=8 please help me​

Answer 1

5x+½=8

5x = 8-1/2. [LCM = 2]

5x = 16/2-1/2

5x = 15/2

x = 15/2÷5

x = 3/2

Answer 2

• As per data given in the question, we have to determine the value of $x.$

       Given data:- $5x+\frac{1}{2}=8$

       To find:- the value of $x.$

       Solution:-

• Here, we will use the below following steps to find a solution using the transposition method:

• Step 1:- we will Identify the variables and constants in the given simple equation.

• Step 2:-then we Simplify the equation in LHS and RHS.

• Step 3:- Transpose or shift the term on the other side to solve the equation further simplest.

• Step 4:- Simplify the equation using arithmetic operation as required that is mentioned in rule 1 or rule 2 of linear equations.

• Step 5:- Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation.

        By using the transposition method. we get,

          $\Rightarrow 5x+\frac{1}{2}=8\\\Rightarrow \frac{5x\times2+1}{2}=8\\\Rightarrow \frac{10x+1}{2}=8\\\Rightarrow 10x+1=16\\\Rightarrow 10x=16-1\\\Rightarrow 10x=15\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{15}{10}=\frac{3}{2}$

     Hence, the value will be $\frac{3}{2}.$
