Convert this algebraic expression to English 1/4x-2=5​

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The word Question of this equation (1/4x-2=5) is:

The difference of one fourth of number and 2 is 5.

Reason:

The one fourth of number is unknown number. So, let the number be "x". The number is 1/4 X .

Then the difference of it and 2 is 5.

Which brings an algebraic expression: 1/4x-2=5.

Hope it helps!

The answer is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

I have explained 2 methods please choose your most comfortable, but method 1 is more better in my opinion! :)

First, write the question down,

1/4x -2=5

Then find like terms, in this case it is 5 and -2

1/4x-2=5

Then do opposite operations method 1 is shown in head 2 is different.

1/4x=5+2 or 1/4x-2+2=5+2

Method 1 should then move onto 5+2= 7 and the equation would now look like this: 1/4x=7

Method 2 should be the same eliminating the -2, but then still ending up with 1/4x=7.

Lastly, another opposite operation meaning take 1/4 (known as 1 divided by 4) and do the opposite leaving the 1 as 1x or just x but doing 7 multiplied by 4. Method 2 is the same but takes more time to explain but both methods are the same though so don't worry!

Should look like this: x=7x4 or x=7(4)

Then multiply, which you would get x=28

Therefore, the answer to this algebraic expression is x=28
