$7+x-(3+32÷8)=3$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The value of x is 3

Step 1. Definition.

Equation: An equation is a mathematical statement that two expressions are equal. An equation will always contain an equal sign with an expression on each side.

Step 2. Order of Operations.

BODMAS

B – Brackets First

O – Orders (i.e. Powers and Square Roots etc.)

D – Division

M – Multiplication

A – Addition

S – Subtraction

Step 3. Apply BODMAS Rule.

$7+x-(3+32÷8)=3$ Original equation

First, we divide 32 by 8 inside the bracket.

$\Rightarrow 7+x-(3+4)=3$

Add the numbers inside the bracket.

$\Rightarrow 7+x-7=3$

Subtract 7 from 7.

$\Rightarrow x=3$

Thus, the value of x is 3
