Question

show that x=4 is a solution of the equation x+7-8x/3=17/6-5x/8

Answer 1

given equation x+7-8x/3=17/6-5x/8
4+7-8×4/3=17/6-5×4/8
11-32/3=17/6-20/8
33-32/3=68-60/24
1/3=8/24
then I get 1/3=1/3
L.H.S=R.H.S

Answer 2

If x=4

then, 7+4-$\frac{8x4}{3}$=$\frac{17}{6}$-$\frac{5x4}{8}$

=11-32/3=17-20/8

= 33-$\frac{32}{3}$=68-$\frac{60}{24}$

= $\frac{1}{3}$=$\frac{8}{24}$

= $\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{3}$
