Question

Given: x/4-7=y and y=2
Prove: x=36

x/4-7=y Reason
y=2 Reason
x/4-7=2 Reason
x/4=9 Reason

Answer 1

Add 7 to both sides of the equation:
x/4 - 7 + 7 = 2 + 7

Simplify both sides:
x/4 = 9

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate x:
4 * (x/4) = 9 * 4

Simplify both sides:
x = 36

Therefore, x = 36.
