Question

$$x+\frac{x}{4}+7+\frac{x}{4}-8=197$$

Solve for x

$x=132$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $4$.

$$4x+x+28+x-32=788$$

Combine $4x$ and $x$ to get $5x$.

$$5x+28+x-32=788$$

Combine $5x$ and $x$ to get $6x$.

$$6x+28-32=788$$

Subtract $32$ from $28$ to get $-4$.

$$6x-4=788$$

Add $4$ to both sides.

$$6x=788+4$$

Add $788$ and $4$ to get $792$.

$$6x=792$$

Divide both sides by $6$.

$$x=\frac{792}{6}$$

Divide $792$ by $6$ to get $132$.

$$x=132$$
