Question:
Linear Equation In One Variable
solve x,
[tex]\frac{3x}{2} -7 = 5[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]x = 8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{3x}{2} -7 = 5[/tex]
Required
Solve for x
[tex]\frac{3x}{2} -7 = 5[/tex]
Multiply through by 2
[tex]2(\frac{3x}{2} -7) = 5 * 2[/tex]
[tex]2*\frac{3x}{2} -2 * 7 = 5 * 2[/tex]
[tex]3x - 14 = 10[/tex]
[tex]3x = 14 + 10[/tex]
[tex]3x = 24[/tex]
Solve for x
[tex]x = \frac{24}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x = 8[/tex]
