Question

Solve for x1/2x - 2 = 5

Answer 1

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

`(1)/(2)x-2=5`

To solve for x, we first need to add 2 to both sides

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)x-2+2=5+2 \\ \\ (1)/(2)x=7 \end{gathered}`

Then, we can multiply both sides by 2

`\begin{gathered} 2\cdot(1)/(2)x=2\cdot7 \\ \\ x=14 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the answer is

x = 14
