Question

solve the equation 4(x-1)+2=1/2(x+5)​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-4+2=1/2x+10

4x-1/2x=10+6

2x=16

x=16/2

x=8

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$4(x - 1) + 2 = \frac{1}{2} (x + 5)$

To find: Solve the equation

Solution:

Step 1: Open bracket in LHS

$4x - 4 + 2 = \frac{1}{2} (x + 5)$

simplify

$4x - 2 = \frac{1}{2} (x + 5)$

Step 2: Cross multiply

$2(4x - 2) = x + 5$

open bracket and simplify

$8x - 4 = x + 5$

Step 3: Take terms with x on one side and constant terms to other

$8x - x = 5 + 4$

$7x = 9$

$x = \frac{9}{7}$

Final answer:

$\bold{\green{x = \frac{9}{7}}}$

Hope it helps you.
