Question

What are the solution(s) of -1/2X+4= X+ 1?

O-1 and 8
О 1 and 4
O 2
O 3

Answer 1

X = 2

Explanation:

-1/2X+4= X+ 1

Add 1/2X to each side

-1/2X+ 1/2 X+4= X+ 1 + 1/2 X

4 = 3/2 X +1

Subtract 1 from each side

4-1 = 3/2 X +1-1

3 = 3/2 X

Multiply each side by 2/3 to isolate x

3 * 2/3 = 3/2 X * 2/3

2 =X
