Question

What value of x makes the equation true? 1/2(4x−5)+52=10

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -19.75

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{2}(4x-5) +52 =10$

$\frac{4x-5}{2}+ 52 = 10$

$\frac{4x-5+ 52\times 2}{2} = 10$

$4x-5+ 104 = 10 \times 2$

$4x+99 = 20$

$4x = 20-99$

$4x = -79$

$x= -\frac{79}{4}$

$x= -19.75$
