Question

Solve the equation

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{2}$ (2x + 2) - $\frac{1}{4}$ (3x - 1) = 15

multiply through by 4 ( the LCM of 2 and 4 ) to clear the fractions

2(2x + 2) - (3x - 1) = 60 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

4x + 4 - 3x + 1 = 60

x + 5 = 60 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

x = 55
