Question

5.) Solve 2x–71 = 12. Be sure to show all of your work.

Answer 1

X=83/2=41.5

Explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you have to isolate x on one side of the equation.

2x-71+71=12+71 (First, add 71 from both sides.)

12+71 (Solve.)

12+71=83

2x=83

2x/2=83/2 (Then, divide by 2 from both sides.)

83/2 (Solve.)

83/2=41.5

x=83/2=41.5

So, the correct answer is x=83/2=41.5.

Answer 2

x = 41.5

Explanation:

2x = 83

x = 83/2

x = 41.5
