Question

1/2x+3=-1




solve for x

Answer 1

x = -8

Explanation:

To solve for x, you want to isolate it (meaning it's the only thing on that side of the equation). To begin, subtract 3 from both sides this'll leave you with

1/2x = -4

To get rid of the 1/2 in front of x, you need to multiply it (both sides of the equation) by the reciprical.

(2)1/2x = -2(2)

x = -8

Answer 2

=−8 lllllllllllllllll
