Question

How many solutions exist for the given equation? 1/2(x + 12) = 4x – 1

Answer 1

$\frac{1}{2} (x+12)=4x-1$

Multiply  both sides by 2 :

$\frac{1}{2}(x+12)*2 = 4x*2-1*2$

$x+12=8x-2$

$x+12-12=8x-2-12$

$x=8x-14$

Subtract 8 x from both sides:

$x-8x=8x-14-8x$

$-7x=-14$

Divide both sides by -7 :

$\frac{-7x}{-7} = \frac{-14}{7}$

$x = \frac{14}{7}$

$x = 2$
