Question

What is the correct solution to 1/2(x+18)=4(2x-6)-9x

Answer 1

x = 22

Explanation:

I interpreted your problem as:

`(1)/(2) (x+18) = 4(2x-6)-9x`

I simplified the problem to:

`(1)/(2) x+9 = 8x-24-9x`

I combined like terms:

`(1)/(2) x+9 = -x-24`

I moved all x to one side and all other constants to the other:

`(3)/(2) x = -33`

I divided by 3/2 (1.5) on both sides to isolate x:

`x = 22`

Hope it helps! (:
