Answer 2

Answer:

Value of x = 0.175

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

$\sf{\dfrac{12+2}{5x}=16}$

To find :

The value of x

Solution :

$:\implies\sf{\dfrac{12+2}{5x}=16}$

$:\implies\sf{\dfrac{14}{5x}=16}$

Cross multiply the number

$:\implies\sf{14=16\times5x}$

$:\implies\sf{14=80x}$

$:\implies\sf{\cancel{\dfrac{14}{80}}=x}$

$:\implies\sf{0.175=x}$

So , the value of x is 0.175 .

Verification :

To verify the answer find the value of LHS (Left hand side) if the answer will be equal to RHS (Right hand side) . Then , the answer will get verified.

$:\implies\sf{\dfrac{12+2}{5\times0.175}=16}$

$:\implies\sf{\cancel{\dfrac{14}{0.875}}=16}$

$:\implies\sf{16=16}$

Hence , the answer is verified .
