Question

Solve for x.
Give an exact answer.
0.5(5-7x) = 8- (4x + 6)

Answer 1

Answer:

x=1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5(5-7x)=8-(4x+6)

1/2(5-7x)=8-(4x+6)

5/2-(7/2)x=8-4x-6

(5-7x)/2=2-4x

5-7x=4-8x

5-4=8x+7x

1=15x

x=1/15

Answer 2

Answer:

X =1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

.5/10(5-7x)=8-(4x+6)

or 5/2-7x/2=8-4x-6

or -7x/2-4x/1=8-6-5/2

or -7x-8x/2=4-5/2

or -15x/2=-1/2

or x = 1/15
