Question

Solve x∕2 – 5 = 20 for x.

Question 3 options:

A)

x = 100

B)

x = 25

C)

x = 50

D)

x = 85

Answer 1

x = 50

Explanation:

x/2 - 5 = 20

x/2 = 25

x = 50

Answer 2

Answer: C) x = 50

Explanation:

Our task is to solve the following equation:

`\sf{\cfrac{x}{2}-5=20}`

First, add 5 to both sides:

`\sf{\cfrac{x}{2}=20+5}`

`\sf{\cfrac{x}{2}=25}`

Now, multiply both sides by 2:

`\sf{x=25*2}`

`\sf{x=50}`

Therefore, C) x = 50 is the right choice.
