Question

.5(x+4)=12 help plssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{-13}{5}$ or -2.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this you would first have the equation $5(x+4)=12$ and then you could multiply the x+5 by 5 which is 5x+25 so then your equation would be $5x+25=12$ then you would subtract 25 from both sides to cancel out the 25 so then your equation would look like this $5x=-13$ then you would divide from both sides to just get x so you would get  $x=\frac{-13}{5}$ so you could leave it as is or you could turn it into a decimal which is -2.6
