Question

Complete the statement If x/7 = 5/3, then x+7/7 =?

Answer 1

Lets get started :)


`(x)/(7) = (5)/(3)`
We can cross multiply, to find the value of x
3x = 7 x 5
3x = 35
We have to divide by 3 on either sides to isolate x

`(3x)/(3) = (35)/(3)`
3 and 3 cancels out

x =
`(35)/(3)`

Then, x +
`(7)/(7)` ( 7 divided by 7 is 1)

`(35)/(3)` + 1 =
`(38)/(3)`
