Question

What is... X/2 - 13 = 1

Answer 1

X ÷ 2 - 13 = 1
Write the division as a fraction
$\frac{1}{2}x - 13 = 1$
Multiple both sides of the equation by 2
$2 \times \frac{1}{2}x \times - 2 \times 13 = 12$
Reduce the number with greatest common divisor 2
$x - 2 \times 3 = 2$
Multiply the numbers
$- 2 \times 13$
Then u will have
$x - 26 = 2$
Move constant to the right by adding its opposite sides
$x - 26 + 26 = 2 + 26$
Eliminate the opposites
$- 26 + 26$
Then you have
$x = 2 + 26$
Add the numbers
$x = 28$
