x = 32

Explanation : To answer this you want to get the x by itself. Subtract 4 from 20 which would make the equation 1/2x = 16. Next, divide 1/2 by 1/2x and 16. 1/2 and 1/2 cancel each other out and 1/2 divided by 16 is 32 hence x = 32.

Answer:

x = 1/32

Explanation:

to solve for x in the question 1/2 x +4= 20​ , the first step to do is to combine the like terms.

1/2 x +4= 20​

combining the like terms we have,

1/2x = 20 - 4

1/2x = 16

cross multiply

1 = 2x × 16

1 = 32x

divide both side by the coefficient of x which is 32

1/32 = 32x/32

x = 1/32
