Answer:
x = 55
x = 13
Explanation:
Use the distributive property to solve.
0.5(x+9)=32
0.5x + 4.5 = 32
0.5x = 27.5
x = 55
Solve by dividing first
0.5(x+9)=32
x + 9 = 32/0.5
x + 9 = 64
x = 55
Use the distributive property to solve.
2(x+12)=50
2x + 24 = 50
2x = 26
x = 13
Solve by dividing first
2(x+12)=50
x + 12 = 50/2
x + 12 = 25
x = 13
