Complete the Proof.

Question

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

Answer 1

To prove that x=36, we need to substitute y=2 into the given equation and then solve for x.

Given equation: x/4 - 7 = y

Substituting y=2, we have:
x/4 - 7 = 2

Now, let's solve for x.

Adding 7 to both sides:
x/4 = 2 + 7
x/4 = 9

Multiplying both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction:
4 * (x/4) = 4 * 9
x = 36

Therefore, we have proved that x=36.
