Question

Solve for x 2 5 = x 2 Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

Answer 1

The value of x is
`12(1)/(12)`

Explanation:

We have the equation

`25=2x`

In solving equations, it is a mathematical rule that whatever operation you carry out on the lefthand side (LHS) of the equation is the same as the one you carried on the Righthand side of the organization(RHS).

To get x, we will have to divide both sides by two.

This will give us

`25/2 = x`

There fore, the value of x is 25/2 or
`12(1)/(2)`
