To solve an equation with a square yo would take the square root of both sides.
(4x - 5)^2 = 49
sqrt((4x - 5)^2) = sqrt49
4x - 5 = + - 7
4x - 5 = 7 and 4x - 5 = -7
4x = 12 4x = -2
x = 3 x = -1/2

The possible value of x is 3. So option 3 is the correct answer.

What is a linear equation?

"A linear equation is an equation of a straight line, written in one variable. The only power of the variable is 1. Linear equations in one variable may take the form ax + b = 0".

For the given situation,

The linear equation is given as \((4x-5)^2=49\)

Taking square root on both sides,

⇒ \(4x- 5=\sqrt{49}\)

⇒ \(4x-5=7\)

Substitute, \(x=-\frac{4}{5}\)

⇒\(4(\frac{-4}{5} )-5=7\)

⇒\(\frac{-41}{5} = 7\)

This is not equal. So x does not satisfy -4/5.

Substitute, \(x=\frac{-1}{2}\)

⇒ \(4(\frac{-1}{2} )-5=7\)

⇒ \(-7=7\)

This is not equal. So x does not satisfy -1/2.

Substitute, \(x=3\)

⇒ \(4(3)-5=7\)

⇒ \(7=7\)

This is equal. So x satisfies 3.

Substitute, \(x=5\)

⇒ \(4(5)-5=7\)

⇒ \(15=7\)

This is not equal. So x does satisfy 5.

Substitute, \(x=7\)

⇒ \(4(7)-5=7\)

⇒ \(23=7\)

This is not equal. So x does not satisfy 7.

Hence we can conclude that the possible value of x is 3. So option 3 is the correct answer.
