Question

Solve the following: 4x-1/2 = x+7

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-1/2 = x+7

  4x-x = 7+0.5

     3x = 7.5

       x = 2.5

Answer 2

Given:

$4x-\frac{1}2}=x+7$

To find:

The value of $4x-\frac{1}2}=x+7$

Solution:

We can given equation $4x-\frac{1}2}=x+7$ by transforming the variables on one side and the constants on the other side.

Therefore,

$4x-\frac{1}2}=x+7$

4x - x = 7 + $\frac{1}{2}$

3x = $\frac{7(2)+1}{2}$

3x = $\frac{14+1}{2}$

3x = $\frac{15}{2}$

x = $\frac{15}{2(3)}$

x = $\frac{5}{2}$

Final answer:

On solving the equation $4x-\frac{1}2}=x+7$ the value of x is $\frac{5}{2}$
