Question

4(x-2) + 6/4 = x-4/2 - 5

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

$4(x - 2) + (6 \div 4) = \\ x - (4 \div 2) - 5$

$4x - 8 + (6 \div 4) = x - 2 - 5 \\ 4x - 8 + (3 \div 2) = x - 2 - 5 \\ 4x - x = - 2 - 5 + 8 - (3 \div 2) \\ 3x = 1 - 1.5 \\ 3x = - 0.5 \\ x = ( - 0.5) \div 3$

as 0.5 = 1/2 therefore -0.5 = -1/2

=> x = -1/2 ÷ 3

or x = -1/6
