Carry out the operation in the brackets and then follow the order of operations and then you can figure out the answer.
18 is the solution.
½(x+10) = ¼(x+54)
Solving it
x/2 + 5 = x/4 + 13.5
x/2 - x/4 = 13.5 - 5
x/4 = 8.5
x = 8.5 × 4 = 34
Answer: See below
Explanation:
6a + 11 = 2a + 83
6a - 2a = 83 - 11
4a = 72
a = 72/4
a = 18
The equation is 4(x-3) -(5x+1) = 3
The next step is solving the equation is to apply the distributive property and the equation becomes 4x - 12 - 5x - 5 = 3.
So the correct answer is the third option.
