Equality Properties

Explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

1/2x + 4 = 6

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Subtract 4 on both sides: 1/2x = 2
2. Divide 1/2 on both sides: x = 4

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute in x: 1/2(4) + 4 = 6
2. Multiply: 2 + 4 = 6
3. Add: 6 = 6

Here we see that 6 does indeed equal 6.

∴ x = 4 is the solution to the equation.
