Given:


4x-\frac{1}2}=x+7

To find:

The value of
4x-\frac{1}2}=x+7

Solution:

We can given equation
4x-\frac{1}2}=x+7 by transforming the variables on one side and the constants on the other side.

Therefore,


4x-\frac{1}2}=x+7

4x - x = 7 +
(1)/(2)

3x =
(7(2)+1)/(2)

3x =
(14+1)/(2)

3x =
(15)/(2)

x =
(15)/(2(3))

x =
(5)/(2)

Final answer:

On solving the equation
4x-\frac{1}2}=x+7 the value of x is
(5)/(2)
