Using the order of operations you'll have to apply PEMDAS (Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction) and in that order.

1/2 (x+2) = 2

1. Since there is nothing to do with the parentheses and there are no exponents you will be starting with multiplication.
Multiply 1/2 by (x+1).
1 (x+1)/2 = 2:

x+1/2 = 2

2. Next you'll have to multiply the denominator of 2 by both sides canceling it out on the left.
2 (x+1)/2 = 2(2):

x+1 = 4

3. Lastly, subtract 1 from both sides canceling it out on the left.
x+1 -1 = 4 -1

x = 3.


Check:

1. Fill in the variable x with 3 and solve inside parentheses.
1/2(3+1) = 2:

1/2 (4) = 2

2. Multiply 4 by 1/2.
4(1/2) = 2
4/2 = 2:

2=2

As it stands, it's none of those. I believe you were going for the distance formula but copied it wrong.

(2 12)-3 6)parethesis two plus twelve parethesis subtraction three plus six
ira [324]
You should use Order of Operations or PEDMAS for this (Parenthesis, Exponents, Division and Multiplication in the order they appear, Addition and Subtraction in the order they appear).  So we do the 2+12 because that is in parentheses first which gives 14-3+6.  Next we do 14-3 because there are no exponents and no division or multiplication, which gives 11+6.  This yields your answer, 17.
