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
