Answer: One solution
Explanation:
4 (x - 1 ) + 5x = 1/2 (8x - 3)
4x - 4 + 5x = 1/2 (4x - 1.5) (Good job distributing.)
Combine like terms
(4x+5x) -4 = 4x - 1.5
9x - 4 = 4x - 1.5
Move over 4x to other side by subtracting
(9x-4x) - 4 = -1.5
5x - 4 = -1.5
subtract -4 to other side
5x = -1.5 - (-4) or -1.5 + 4
5x = 2.5
Divide
x= 2.5/5
x= 1/2
