Answer 2

The value of x is 39.

Given: The equation: ( x / 3 ) - 5 = 8​

To Find: Solve the equation and check the answer.

Solution:

Let us solve the equation,

      ( x / 3 ) - 5 = 8​                                                       ...(1)

  ⇒  x / 3 = 8 + 5

  ⇒  x  =  13 × 3

  ⇒  x  = 39

So, we get the value of x to be 39.

Now for checking if the answer is correct, we shall put x = 39 in the main equation (1);

The LHS of ( x / 3 ) - 5 = 8​ is;

     ( x / 3 ) - 5

⇒  ( 39 / 3 ) - 5

⇒   13 - 5

⇒     8  =  RHS

So, we can say that LHS = RHS and the answer is correct.

Hence, the value of x is 39.
