Answer 1

$<b > Ello!!$

Here's your answer

_______________________

x - 5 / 4 = 3

=>> x = 3 + 5 / 4

=>> x = ( 12 + 5 ) / 4

=>> x = 17 / 4 [ ★ Required answer ]

Answer 2

Answer:

$\text{ Given} = \dfrac{x-5}{4} = 3 \\ \\ \text{ Cross multiplying we get,} \\ \\ \implies x - 5 = 3 \times 4 \\ \\ \implies x - 5 = 12 \\ \\ \implies x = 12 + 5 = 17$

Second Approach in which we consider only 5 has a denominator 4.

$\implies x - \dfrac{5}{4} = 3 \\ \\ \text{ Taking LCM we get, } \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{4x - 5}{4} = 3 \\ \\ \text{ Cross multiplying we get,} \\ \\ \implies 4x - 5 = 3 \times 4 \\ \\ \implies 4x - 5 = 12 \\ \\ \implies 4x = 12 + 5 \\ \\ \implies x = \dfrac{17}{4}$

Since question was not clear, I have presented both cases. Please check with the required one.
