Answer 1

8x+5=26
8x=21
x=21/8

....

8x=13-5/2
8x=26-5/2
8x=21/2
x=21/16

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{21}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question

The given equation is

$8x\ +\ \frac{5}{2} = 13$

$8x = 13\ -\frac{5}{2}$

$8x = \frac{26\ -\ 5}{2}$

$8x = \frac{21}{2}$

$x = \frac{21}{2}\times\frac{1}{8}$

$x = \frac{21}{16}$ (Answer)
