Question

Three fourths of x increased by 5 is - 7​

Answer 1

`x=(8)/(3)`

Explanation:

`(3)/(4) x+5=7`

Subtract 5 from both sides.

`(3)/(4)x+5-5=7-5`

Simplify.

`(3)/(4)x=2`

Multiply both sides by 4.

`4*(3)/(4) x=2*4`

Simplify.

`3x=8`

Divide both sides by 3.

`(3x)/(3) =(8)/(3)`

Simplify.

`x=(8)/(3)`
