Question

Solve for x: 1/2x - 10 = 1/3x + 8 -2/3x

Answer 1

Given:

The expression is,

`(1)/(2)x+32=x+12+2x`

The objective is to solve for x.

The value of x can be solved as,

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)x+32=12+3x \\ (x)/(2)-3x=12-32 \\ (x-3x(2))/(2)=-20 \\ (x-6x)/(2)=-20 \\ (-5x)/(2)=-20 \\ -5x=-20(2) \\ 5x=40 \\ x=(40)/(5) \\ x=8 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the value of x is 8.
