Question

What is the value of X in the equation 2(x+4)/3 – 8 = 32

hintHint:

An equation in which highest power of any variable is always 1 is known as a Linear equation.
We will simplify the given equation and find the value of x.

The correct answer is: Value of x for the given equation is 56


    Step-by-step solution:-
    2 (x + 4) / 3 - 8 = 32
    ∴ 2 (x + 4) / 3 = 32 + 8 ….......................... (Taking all the constants together)
    ∴ 2 (x + 4) / 3 = 40
    ∴ 2 (x + 4) = 40 cross times 3 …......................... (Multiplying both sides by 3)
    ∴ 2 (x + 4) = 120
    ∴ x + 4 = 120 / 2 ............................ (Dividing both sides by 2)
    ∴ x + 4 = 60
    ∴ x = 60 - 4 ............................ (Taking all the constants together)
    ∴ x = 56
    Final Answer:-
    ∴ Value of x for the given equation is 56.
