Question

Given: 8x-61=17, prove: 39/4

Answer 1

The solution is
`x = (39)/(4)`

Explanation:

We are given the following equation:

8x - 61 = 17

We want to find the solution, that is, the value of x. So

`8x - 61 = 17`

`8x = 78`

`x = (78)/(8)`

Simplifying by 2

`x = (39)/(4)`

The solution is
`x = (39)/(4)`
