Question

What is the solution to the equation x/2 - 4 = 6?x = 5x = 20x = 1x = 10

Answer 1

We are given the following equation:

`(x)/(2)-4=6`

To solve for "x" we need first to add 4 on both sides of the equation:

`(x)/(2)-4+4=6+4`

Solving the operations:

`(x)/(2)=10`

Now we multiply both sides by 2:

`(2x)/(2)=2(10)`

Solving the operations:

`x=20`

Therefore the value of x is 20
