Question

What is 4x -1/2
=x+ 7

Answer 1

X=5/2

Explanation:

1. subtract x from both sides, you now have 3x - 1/2 = 7

2. now you add 1/2 to both sides to get x by itself and you are left with 3x=7

4. divide by 3 on both sides to get x by itself

5. x=5/2

Answer 2

Explanation:

Bringing like terms on one side

4x - x = 7 + 1/2

3x = 7.5

x = 7.5/3

x = 2.5
