Answer:

A) x=4

B) x=35/2

Explanation:

calculate the product

A) 5x/2+1=11

multiply both sides of the equation by 2

5x+2=22

move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign

5x+22-2

now subtract the numbers

5x=20

now didvide both sides

5x=20

x=4

B)

calculate the product

2x/7-3=2

multiply both sides of the equation by 7

2x-21=14

move the constant to the right hand side and change its sign

2x=14+21

add the numbers

2x=35

now divide both sides of the equation by 2

x=35/2
