5(x-3)/4=x-1/2x
please give answer
Answers
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I want to simplify the left half of the equation. We can simplify x-1/2x to 1/2x, giving us the new equation:
5(x-3)/4=1/2x
Then, we want to multiply both sides by 4. When we multiply both sides by 4, we get the new equation:
5(x-3)=2x
Next, we want to distribute 5 to x-3. When we distribute 5 to x-3, we get the new equation:
5x-15=2x
Then, we want to bring x to one side of the equation. To go this, we need to subtract 5x from both sides. When we do this, we get the new equation:
-15=-3x
Lastly, we need to divide by -3 to find just the value of x. When we do this, we find out that:
5=x or x=5
