Question

1/2x-3=7
(Show all work)

Answer 1

X= 5

Explanation:

1/2x -3 = 7

first you + 3 to both sides to get the x by it's self on one side of the (=)

Why +3 and not -3? because if you add 3 to the -3 on that side it goes to 0 witch means there is nothing there!

1/2x= 10

now you (/) by 2

10/2 =5

x=5

Answer 2

x=20

Explanation:

1/2x-3=7

add 3 to both sides

1/2x=10

divide both sides by 1/2

10/.5= 20

x=20
