Question

Help! x+15 is 1/2 of x+21. What is x+15?

Answer 1

x=6

Explanation:

Simplifying

x + 15 = 21

Reorder the terms:

15 + x = 21

Solving

15 + x = 21

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-15' to each side of the equation.

15 + -15 + x = 21 + -15

Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0

0 + x = 21 + -15

x = 21 + -15

Combine like terms: 21 + -15 = 6

x = 6

Simplifying

x = 6
