= x/4 + 5 = 8
= x/4 = 8 - 5 ( transposing +5 from LHS to RHS changes +5 to -5 )
= x/4 = 3
= x = 3 × 4 ( transposing ÷4 from LHS to RHS changes ÷4 to ×4 l
= x = 12
Let us see whether the value of x is correct or not by placing 12 in the place of x .
= 12 ÷ 4 + 5 = 8
= 3 + 5 = 8
= 8 = 8
= LHS = RHS
Which means the value of x we found out is correct .
Therefore , x = 12 .
