Answer: x=15
Step-by-step explanation: Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
x+
1
/2
(x−5)=20
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x+
1
/2
(x−5)=20
x+(

)(x)+(
1
/2
)(−5)=20(Distribute)
x+

=20
(x+

)=20(Combine Like Terms)
3
/2
x + −5

=20
3
/2
x + −5

=20
Step 2: Add 5/2 to both sides.

/2
x + −5
/2 + 5
/2
=20+

x= 45
/2
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 2/3.

x=15
( 2x +5)^2 =4
2x+5=2
2x=-3
X=-3/2

Umm. i am not sure if this will help but, i would pick the first one. mainly because, i like to think of it as money, like for example. If i had two separate banks, and in both of them i had seven dollars. If i give seven dollars to a charity and there is nothing left in my bank, i would add my other money from my second bank into my first one. that way i will have money in the bank i would normally go to.
