Question

Find the value of x for the given value of y.
y = x/4 -7; y = 2

Answer 1

x = 36

Explanation:

y =
`(x)/(4)` - 7

and y = 2 so...

2 =
`(x)/(4)` - 7

Bring -7 to the other side to get +7

2 + 7 =
`(x)/(4)`

9 =
`(x)/(4)`

Bring the 4 in
`(x)/(4)` to the other side to get x4

9 x 4 = x

∴ x = 36

Answer 2

Answer:36

Explanation:

2=x/4-7

9=x/4

36=x
