1/2(8x+12)=10
and
1.2x+4.3=9.1
1/2(8x+12)=10
4x + 6 = 10
4x = 10-6
4x = 4
x = 1
I'll be glad to check your answer for the second problem.
1.2x+4.3=9.1
-4.3 -4.3
_______________
1.2x = 4.8
divide 1.2 for both sides
x=4
Right!
yay :P)
To solve the equation 1/2(8x + 12) = 10, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Remove the parentheses by distributing the 1/2 to both terms inside.
(1/2) * 8x + (1/2) * 12 = 10
This simplifies to:
4x + 6 = 10
Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides to isolate the variable.
4x = 10 - 6
4x = 4
Step 3: Divide both sides by 4 to solve for x.
x = 4 / 4
x = 1
Therefore, the solution to the equation 1/2(8x + 12) = 10 is x = 1.
Now, for the equation 1.2x + 4.3 = 9.1, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Subtract 4.3 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x.
1.2x + 4.3 - 4.3 = 9.1 - 4.3
This simplifies to:
1.2x = 4.8
Step 2: Divide both sides by 1.2 to solve for x.
x = 4.8 / 1.2
x = 4
Therefore, the solution to the equation 1.2x + 4.3 = 9.1 is x = 4.
