Question

Which of the following is the solution of 1/4 x+5=7

x = 2
x = 6
x = 8
x = 12

please hurry and help

Answer 1

Given equation is ,
`(1)/(4)x + 5 = 7`

To find x, first add - 5 on both sides

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

`(1)/(4)x  = 2`

Multiply both side by 4 to isolate x

`4* (1)/(4) x + 5 = 2 * 4`

`1* x = 2* 4`

Now to find x, divide both side by 1

`(1x)/(1)= (8)/(1)`

x = 8

So option 3 is the answer
