Question

How to solve 1/2 x+4=9

Answer 1

Given the equation:

`(1)/(2)x+4=9`

solve for x

First, subtract 4 from both sides:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)x+4-4=9-4 \\ \\ (1)/(2)x=5 \end{gathered}`

Multiply both sides by 2:

`\begin{gathered} 2\cdot(1)/(2)x=2\cdot5 \\ \\ x=10 \end{gathered}`

so, the answer will be x = 10
