Question

7/2x + 1/2x = 22 + 9/2

Answer 1

`x = (53)/(8)`

alternative form:

`x = 6 (5)/(8) \: or \: x = 6.625`

Explanation:

`(7)/(2) x + (1)/(2) x = 22 + (9)/(2) \\ add \: (7)/(2)x \: to \: (1)/(2) x \\ \\ 4x = 22 + (9)/(2) \\ add \: 22 \: to \: (9)/(2) \\ \\ 4x = (53)/(2) \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 4 \: \\ \\ x= (53)/(8)`
