Question

What is x in 3x-(6x+1/2) =5

Answer 1

Solving for x in 3x-(6x+1/2) =5, we get

`\begin{gathered} 3x-(6x+(1)/(2))=5 \\ 3x-((6x*2+1)/(2))=5 \\ 3x-((12x+1)/(2))=5 \\ (3x*2-12x-1)/(2)=5 \\ 6x-12x-1=5*2 \\ -6x-1=10 \\ -6x=10+1 \\ -6x=11 \\ x=(-11)/(6) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the value of x is -11/6.
