Question

solve the linear equations and check your answer.
1. 7 (x-5) =63​

Answer 1

Answer:

7 (x-5) = 63

7x - 35 = 63

7x = 63 + 35

7x = 98

x = 98/7

x = 14

Verification -:

If we put 14 in place of x, then...

7 (x-5) = 63 will be 7 (14-5) = 63.

7 (14-5) = 63

98-35 = 63

63 = 63.

Since x satisfies the equation, thus our answer is correct.

Therefore x = 14.

Hope it helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

$7x - 35 = 63 \\ 7x = 63 + 35 \\ 7x = 98 \\ x = 98 \div 7 \\ x = 14$

checking the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

$7(14 - 5) = 63 \\ 98 - 35 = 63 \\ 63 = 63 \\ verified$
