What will you get if you divide 28 by 7??
OpenStudy (callisto):
Is the question (i) \(\frac{x+28}{7}=8\) or (ii) \(x+\frac{28}{7}=8\) ?

Multiply both sides by 7 and tell me what you get..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@waterineyes i do not get it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
See if you multiply both sides by 7 like this:
\[7 (\frac{x + 28}{7}) = 7 \times 8\]
Now solve..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
56?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
This is on right hand side..
What you left with left hand side??
Hint: 7 and 7 can get cancel..

nothing
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i do not have anything on the left hand side
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[7(\frac{x + 28}{7})\]
This is your left hand side..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes but i cancel out the 7's
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So you left with the numerator..
Isn't it??

ok, i have 28!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x+28 is all that is left
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Only 28??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes now you are right..
So all you with this:
\[x+28 = 56\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Now Subtract 28 from both the sides to find x.
Do it..
