Question
Solve the following equation.
`(9"x")/8` + 1 = 10
Solution
`(9"x")/8` + 1 = 10
Multiplying both sides by 8
⇒ `(9"x")/8` x 8 + 1 x 8 = 10 x 8
⇒ 9x + 8 = 80
Subtracting 8 from both sides
⇒ 9x + 8 − 8 = 80 − 8
⇒ 9x = 72
Dividing both sides by 9
⇒ `(9"x")/9 = 72/9`
⇒ x = 8
Hence, x = 8 is the solution of the equation.
