Answer 1

Both expression equals 5 when substituting 2 for x, because the expressions are equivalent.

Explanation:

Given the expressions:

(1/2)x + 4

x + 6 - (1/2)x - 2

Substituting 2 for x in the equation :

(1/2)x + 4

x = 5

(1/2)2 + 4

2/2 + 4

1 + 4

= 5

x + 6 - (1/2)x - 2

Substituting 2 for x

2 + 6 - (1/2)2 - 2

8 - 2/2 - 2

8 - 1 - 2

= 5
