Question

solve the given equation: \\(\frac{x}{5} + 7 = 16\\)
options:
\\(x = 45\\)
\\(x = -1.8\\)
\\(x = -45\\)
\\(x = 1.8\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 7 from both sides

The equation is $\frac{x}{5}+7 = 16$. Subtract 7 from both sides: $\frac{x}{5}+7 - 7=16 - 7$, which simplifies to $\frac{x}{5}=9$.

Step2: Multiply both sides by 5

To solve for $x$, multiply both sides of $\frac{x}{5}=9$ by 5: $x = 9\times5 = 45$.

Answer:

$x = 45$ (corresponding to the option "x = 45")
