Question

Enter the value for X that makes the equation 1/2 (4x-8) + 3x = 36 true

Answer 1

1/2 (4x-8) + 3x =36

(4x-8+3x×2)/2=36

(4x+6x-8)=36×2

10x-8=72

10x=72+8

x=80/10=8is your answer

Answer 2

• x = 8

Explanation:

Solve for x:

• 1/2 (4x - 8) + 3x = 36
• 2x - 4 + 3x = 36
• 5x - 4 = 36
• 5x = 40
• x = 40/5
• x = 8
