Answer:

(1) x=15/2

(2) x=1

Explanation:

(1) 4x−1 /2 =x+7

2x+ −1 /2 =x+7(Distribute)

2x+ −1 /2 =x+7

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

2x+ −1 /2 −x=x+7−x

x+ −1 /2 =7

Step 3: Add 1/2 to both sides.

x+ −1 /2 + 1 /2 =7+ 1 /2

x= 15 /2

(2) 3x+2=( 2x+13)/ 3

3x+2= 2 /3 x+ 13 /3 (Distribute)

3x+2= 2 /3 x+ 13 /3

Step 2: Subtract 2/3x from both sides.

3x+2− 2 /3 x= 2 /3 x+ 13 /3 − 2 /3 x

7 /3 x+2= 13 /3

Step 3: Subtract 2 from both sides.

7 /3 x+2−2= 13 /3 −2

7 /3 x= 7 /3

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 3/7.

( 3 /7 )*( 7 /3 x)=( 3 /7 )*( 7 /3 )

X=1
