Question

Solve for x

33=x/2+15

Answer 1

`x=36`

Explanation:

Solve for
`x` by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

Therefore,
`x = 36`.

To check your answer, apply 36 to where
`x` is.

`33=(36)/(2) +15`

⇒
`33=18+15`

`18+15=33` ☑

Answer 2

`\boxed{\sf x=36}`

Explanation:

`\sf 33=\cfrac{x}{2}+15`

`\boxed {\sf Multiply\: both \:sides \:by \:2}`

`\sf 66=x+30`

Swap sides so that all the variable terms are on the left hand side:

`\sf x+30=66`

`\boxed{\sf Subtract \:30\: from \:both \:sides}`

`\sf x=66-30`

`\boxed{\sf Subtract \: 30\: from \:66}`

`\sf x=36`
