If , find x.

Question:

If $\frac{1}{6 !}+\frac{1}{7 !}=\frac{x}{8 !}$, find $x$

Solution:

$\frac{1}{6 !}+\frac{1}{7 !}=\frac{x}{8 !}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{6 !}+\frac{1}{7 \times 6 !}=\frac{x}{8 \times 7 \times 6 !}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{6 !}\left(1+\frac{1}{7}\right)=\frac{x}{8 \times 7 \times 6 !}$

$\Rightarrow 1+\frac{1}{7}=\frac{x}{8 \times 7}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{8}{7}=\frac{x}{8 \times 7}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{8 \times 8 \times 7}{7}$

$\therefore x=64$
