Question

What is the solution for X in the equation 1/2 - x + 3/2 equals x - 4​

Answer 1

x=3

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

1/2−x+3/2=x−4

1/2+−x+3/2=x+−4

(−x)+(1/2+3/2)=x−4(Combine Like Terms)

−x+2=x−4

−x+2=x−4

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

−x+2−x=x−4−x

−2x+2=−4

Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.

−2x+2−2=−4−2

−2x=−6

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

−2x/−2=−6/−2

x=3
