Solve each equation for the variable. Check your solutions, if possible.
x/2+1=6
x/2+1=6
x/2 = 5
x = 10
Substitute 10 for x in the original problem to make sure it's the right answer.
To solve the equation x/2 + 1 = 6 for the variable x, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.
(x/2) + 1 - 1 = 6 - 1
x/2 = 5
Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate x.
2 * (x/2) = 5 * 2
x = 10
The solution to the equation x/2 + 1 = 6 is x = 10.
To check the solution, substitute x = 10 back into the original equation and see if both sides are equal:
(10/2) + 1 = 6
5 + 1 = 6
6 = 6
Since both sides are equal, we can confirm that x = 10 is the correct solution.
