Question

1/2x+3=-4x+15 x=? Help me Pleaseeeee

Answer 1

x = 0.286

Explanation:

We start with your equation:

`(1)/(2)x + 3 = -4x + 15x`

Since we are solving for x , we want to isolate all the x's to one side

`(1)/(2)x [-(1)/(2)x] + 3 = -4x + 15x [-(1)/(2)x]`

leaving us with

`3=-4x + 15x - (1)/(2) x`

then combine like terms

`3= 10.5 x`

Divide both sides by 10.5 to find X

`3[/10.5]= 10.5[/10.5] x`

x = 0.286

*I've left it at 3, but you can divide 3 by 10.5 to get as many significant digits as you need!
