Question

Solve the following4x-1/2=x+7​

Answer 1

x =
`(5)/(2)`

Explanation:

Given

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

Multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction

8x - 1 = 2x + 14 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

6x - 1 = 14 ( add 1 to both sides )

6x = 15 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x =
`(15)/(6)` =
`(5)/(2)`
