Question

Solve for x in the equation x/2 = 17

Answer 1

x/2 = 17

Multiply by 2 to both sides to get rid of the 2 in the x, also because you are going to multiply on one side, you also have to do it on the other side

x = 34

Answer 2

x =34

Explanation:

x/2 = 17

Multiply each side of the equation by 2 to isolate x

x/2 * 2 = 17*2

x =34
