Question

Solve the following equations and check the result:

7x – 2 = 8 - x
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is $\frac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have been mentioned that we have to find the respective value of variable x. We have been given the following expression to solve:

$7x - 2 = 8-x$

We will separate the variables in the LHS and the constant values on the RHS as follows;

⇒ 7x + x = 8 +2

⇒ 8x = 10

⇒ x = 10 ÷ 8

⇒ x = $\frac{5}{4}$

Therefore the value of x is $\frac{5}{4}$
