Question

Which value of x satisfies the equation 1/6(x+1/2)=7/12?

-4
-3
3
4

Answer 1

x = 3

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

1/6(x+1/2)=7/12

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

1/6(x+1/2)=7/12

(1/6)(x)+(1/6)(1/2)=7/12

(Distribute)

1/6x+1/12=7/12

Step 2: Subtract 1/12 from both sides.

1/6x+1/12−1/12=7/12−1/12

1/6x=1/2

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 6.

6*(1/6x)=6*(1/2)

x=3
