Question

, Solve each equation. Check your solutions. 5+ x/2=16

Answer 1

Answer:

x=22

Step-by-step explanation:

5+x/2=16

x/2=16-5

x/2=11

x=11*2

x=22

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

$5+\dfrac{x}{2}=16\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\\\5-5+\dfrac{x}{2}=16-5\\\\\dfrac{x}{2}=11\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 2}\\\\2\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{x}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}=(2)(11)\\\\x=22$

$\text{CHECK:}\\\\\text{Put the value of}\ x\ \text{to the equation:}\\\\5+\dfrac{22}{2}=16\\\\5+11=16\\\\16=16\qquad\bold{CORRECT}$
