Question

grade 7 chapter 4 chapter test assessment question 4 of 15 listen 4. solve \\(\frac{x}{8} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{5}{4}\\). \\(x = \square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract $\frac{3}{4}$ from both sides

$\frac{x}{8} + \frac{3}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{5}{4} - \frac{3}{4}$
$\frac{x}{8} = \frac{5-3}{4}$
$\frac{x}{8} = \frac{2}{4}$
$\frac{x}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$

Step2: Multiply both sides by 8

$\frac{x}{8} \times 8 = \frac{1}{2} \times 8$
$x = 4$

Answer:

$4$
