Question

Solve for x in the simplest form 11=1/2x+8

Answer 1

x=6

Explanation:

11=1/2x+8

subtract 8 from both sides first.

11-8=1/2x

3=1/2x

Now, multiply by 2 or divide by 1/2 from both sides (your pick)

3*2=x

Therefore the answer is x=6

Answer 2

x = 6

Explanation:

11 = 1/2x + 8

-> Move 8 to left side

11 - 8 = 1/2x

3 = 1/2x

->We can switch sides so 1/2x is on the left and 3 is on the right

1/2x = 3

x = 3 x 2/1

x = 6
