Question

$\frac{x}{4 } + 5 = 7$

Answer 1

x=8 is the correct answer. First you had to subtract by 5 from both sides of equation, and it gave us, $\frac{x}{4}+5-5=7-5$. And then simplify, and it gave us, $\frac{x}{4}=2$. Then you can multiply by 4 from both sides of equation, and it gave us, $\frac{4x}{4}=2*4$. And finally simplify, and it gave us the answer is 2*4=8, or x=8 is the correct answer. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Here is your equation:

$\frac{x}{4} + 5 = 7$

You're looking for x. To find x alone, you have to remove everything on the same side of it. On that side you have:

$\frac{x}{4} + 5$

The only thing you need to remove is +5(positive 5). To remove it, you have to  do the opposite of it, which is -5(negative 5). It is also the same as subtracting 5. Subtract 5 from both sides:

$\frac{x}{4} + 5 - 5 = 7-5 \\ \\ \frac{x}{4} = 2$

x divided by 4 is equal to 2. To find x, you have to do the opposite of what's happening to it. x is being divided by 4. The opposite of that is multiplying by 4(times 4).

$\frac{x}{4}=2 \rightarrow x = 4 \times 2$

Multiply:

$4 \times 2 = 8$

That means your answer is 8 ; x = 8
