Answer 1

• x = 1

-------------------------------------

Solve the following equation:

• 1/2 (2x - 4) + 2 = 4(x + 2) - 11 Given
• 1/2(2x) - 1/2(4) + 2 = 4x + 4(2) - 11 Distribute
• x - 2 + 2 = 4x + 8 - 11 Simplify
• x = 4x - 3 Simplify
• 4x - x = 3 Collect like terms
• 3x = 3 Simplify
• x = 1 Answer
