what is the procedure for solving the equation 1/2x = 16. I am stuck. Please help me.
1/2x = 16.
Divide both sides by 1/2
x = 16 / (1/2)
x = 16 * (2/1)
x = 32
32
To solve the equation 1/2x = 16, you need to isolate the variable x.
Step 1: Start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2 to eliminate the fraction.
(1/2x) * 2 = 16 * 2
This simplifies to:
x = 32
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 32.
