Answer:

x = 80

Explanation:


(x)/(2) - 15 = 25 ( add 15 to both sides )


(x)/(2) = 40 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

x = 40 × 2 = 80

Answer:

80

Explanation:

First move like terms to one side:

x/2=25+15

Notice that the sign (+ or -) changes when we switch it to the opposite side

x/2=40

Multiply both sides by 2...

x=80
