sorry it looks confusing:solve
x = 1
4 2
is it 4 and a 2 or 42?
what are the directions
To solve the equation:
x/4 = 1/2
First, we can cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the left side by the denominator of the right side, and multiply the numerator of the right side by the denominator of the left side.
2 * x = 1 * 4
Now, simplify the equation:
2x = 4
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate the variable x:
2x/2 = 4/2
x = 2
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 2.
