The true value of x in the equation is 65

How to verify the equation?

The equation is given as:

[tex]\frac{x}5 - 2 = 11[/tex]

When x = 1.8, we have:

[tex]\frac{1.8}5 - 2 = 11[/tex]

[tex]-1.64 = 11[/tex] -- this is false

When x = 2.6, we have:

[tex]\frac{2.6}5 - 2 = 11[/tex]

[tex]-1.48 = 11[/tex] -- this is false

When x = 45, we have:

[tex]\frac{45}5 - 2 = 11[/tex]

[tex]7 = 11[/tex] -- this is false

When x = 65, we have:

[tex]\frac{65}5 - 2 = 11[/tex]

[tex]!1 = 11[/tex] -- this is true

Hence, the true value of x in the equation is 65
