Question

Solve: negative 1 over 2 x + 1 = −x + 8

Answer 1

Answer:

x=5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x + 1 = -x + 8

.5x + x = 8-1

1.5x = 7

x = 7 - 1.5

x =5.5

Answer 2

1/2x imma change to .5x
.5x+1 = -x +8
Imma put all the numbers on the right side so I’m going to subtract one from each side
.5x=-x+7
Then imma add x to both sides to get that x on the left
1.5x=7
So now imma divid both sides by 1.5 then I’ll get a answer
X= 4.66
My math is wrong XD but my steps are right I hope this helps you in some way
