1/2(4x-6)=15 please help
This looks more like algebra to me.
1/2(4x-6)=15
2x - 3 = 15
2x = 18
x = 9
no i have to have two column proofs for this
the work and property names
Thank you Mrs. Sue i got it
You're welcome, Selena.
To solve the equation 1/2(4x - 6) = 15, we will follow these steps:
Step 1: Simplify the expression on the left side of the equation:
Distribute the 1/2 to both terms inside the parentheses:
1/2 * 4x = 4x/2 = 2x
1/2 * -6 = -6/2 = -3
Therefore, the equation becomes 2x - 3 = 15.
Step 2: Isolate the variable on one side of the equation:
We will add 3 to both sides of the equation:
2x - 3 + 3 = 15 + 3
2x = 18
Step 3: Solve for x:
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 2:
(2x) / 2 = 18 / 2
x = 9
So, the solution to the equation 1/2(4x - 6) = 15 is x = 9.
