Answer 2

★ Solution ★

★ According to question, we have

  to find a number one-fourth of

  which is 8 more than 5

=============================

Let the number which is require

be 'x'.

So,

One fourth of this number is = $\dfrac{1}{4}x$

==============================

★ Given that :

  $\dfrac{1}{4}x$ is two more than 7

=============================

★ So now we are going to solve equation

 $\implies\dfrac{1}{4}x = 5+8\\\\\\\implies\dfrac{1}{4}x=13\\\\\\\implies x=13\times4\\\\\\\implies x=52$

==============================

★ By solve the equation we get

  the value of 'x' which is 52

==============================

★ Now we are going to verify

   our answer

For verification we have to

put '52' at the place of 'x'

=============================

Lets do it,

$\implies\dfrac{1}{4}\times52 = 5+8\\\\\\\implies\dfrac{1}{4}\times52=13\\\\\\\implies 52=13\times4\\\\\\\implies 52=52$

=============================

★ Here, L.H.S = R.H.S

★ Hence, it is verified

==============================

           

★ Another verification :

  = 1/4x

  = 1/4 × 52

  = 13

★ Here, we observe that 13 is 8 more

   than 5.

★ Hence our answer is fully verified.
