Question

Solve: ¼ x - 8 = 7
​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=60

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4x=7+8

1/4x=15

x=15×4/1

x=60

Answer 2

To find : value of $x$

Given : $\frac{1}{4}x -8 = 7$

Solution :

• Here, we will use the below following steps to find a solution using the transposition method:

1. We will Identify the variables and constants in the given equation.
2. Then we differentiate the equation as LHS and RHS.
3. We take constants at RHS leaving variable at LHS. .
4. Simplify the equation using arithmetic operation as required to find the value of x  .
5. Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation. By using the transposition method. we get,

           $\frac{1}{4} x -8 = 7 \\\frac{1}{4} x = 7 + 8 \\x = 15 \times 4 \\x = 60$

Hence, value of $x$ is $60$ .
